Has strength training helped you?

I’ve recent started a job that requires me to be in an office three days a week. I’ve got all the ergonomic supports I need, but the pain in my shoulders, collarbones, upper back and sometimes elbows is pretty bad by about 2pm. I take lots of stretch breaks etc.

I’ve been told that strength work is super important for hypermobility, but I kind of hate the gym. (Not the exercise part - the exercising around other people part.)

Curious if it’s worked for other people here?

I’m also currently being investigated for psoriatic arthritis. My joints are super tender and painful to touch after an office day. Is that typical for hypermobility as well?
