Hypermobility goes along with hypotonia. It does not normally affect any
activity, but does predispose to dislocation of joints (he would know about
this from childhood experience). It is probably the reason for historical
accounts of 'elastic or rubber men' in circuses. So, no there is no reason
that any activities would aggravate it - in fact he'll probably be better at
getting into and out of confined spaces.
Look under benign congenital hypotonia in google.
How do I know all this - my daughter has it.
