Dr. Aaron Hartman suggests connective tissue dysfunction, including hypermobility, may underlie many seemingly unrelated health problems his patients experience. He frames it as a unifying factor connecting disparate conditions.

If I could pick one thing that I would say is the root cause of many, if not most of the health issues I see in my clinic, what would that be? What would be the one ring that rules them all, if you're familiar with Lord of the Rings? It's actually our connective tissues. What I'm referring to is hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum disorder. So what kind of illnesses or things could be associated with hypermobility? Step back to hear what I'm talking about. How is this all connected? And the answer is it's all connected.
