How to Tell if You're HYPERMOBILE

What score did you get?!

My son was diagnosed with EDS last year! Keep these info videos coming please! The world needs more information for this!

I was recently diagnosed with EDS, & POTS runs in my family; it’s taken many years to reach proper diagnosis. (Other indicator used in evaluation was overcrowding of teeth, or very high palate, low BP/fainting.) I’ve been plagued with lifelong joint sprains , & strains, leading to impingement & chronic pain; mainly of ankles, shoulders, & thumbs. I wish I could have known about the diagnosis in my childhood or young adulthood.

I got all 5. 😢 I'm 30 plus n having joint pain in knee, shoulder, neck... everywhere. Can you please suggest some effective exercises for scapular stability? 🙏

Zero 😂-Which is why I am working daily on mobility/yoga these days-Thank you for all of your videos!

I got eight out of nine. The only reason I couldn't do the behind down one is because I've got soliosis so I can't really been down that far

I got 5. Feel like I have unlocked a super power lol

I came here after my Orthopaedic said I’m hypermobile. I got 7 on the test, but I’m not exactly sure.

Im still kind of confused.....elbows, hands, fingers are flexible but the rest i dont know....like i get pain a lot sometimes in the joints of my hands, shoulders and neck and back....but also in my feet....like a lot too

What If you can touch your thumb to your forearm, but only after warming up and forcing it really hard? Does that count as hyper mobile, or should it be easily to touch more passively?

I have hyper mobility i got diagnosed 5 years ago. I went to see the doctor because of my hip pain and turns out i have hyper mobility and my legs tend to turn in randomly where they meet my other joins. Today i have tibial posterior I don’t know what caused it i have been mindful of keeping my range of motion at the normal people degree at the gym when lifting. I did ballet for 8 years but i think it’s due to genetics.

Got a 9 I have had some knee and back pain but I developed some muscle to act like a reinforcement to my joints soo now I have good core stability and I can stand for more than 12h without pain I can walk up to 30 km in 5h without pain my bones are thick soo I don't have stress fractures but it means that I am heavier than I look I look like a 70kg but I am 110kg but it doesn't limit my mobility I used to do bike stunts and rock climbing but I injured my elbow soo I stick to powerlifting now

I only failed the last one but since childhood, since childhood I was never able to touch my toes. If I have hyper mobility why am I so stiff or not flexible? Can I be much more flexible in the upper part of my body and not the legs?

6 definitely have pain and stifness and loss of grip :(

9/9!

I can’t do my finger not my thumb and my knees behind I can’t even touch my toes tho lmao

I got a 5 and wouldn't consider myself hypermobile. [My body cheated with the palms on floor because my arms are long, lol.] SideNote: I'm a Yoga Instructor noticing that hypermobile people come into yoga thinking hypermobility is the point (it's not; it's a balance). My consistent cues are always to keep microbends in elbows when coming up from a sleeping pigeon for example (muscle activation) as well as activating back legs in warriors 1 & 2 for example to prevent the joints (knees in this case) from taking the load due to gravity. The body loves the path of least resistance which will lead to damage over time if in constant repetition of movements/poses/asanas that aren't safely implemented.

I got 8 Which i had 5 a few weeks ago i am 11 is there any bad effects

i have 7 points :>

With the hands on the ground ,some people just have long legs and short arms
