Are you double jointed or hypermobile?

Post Reply New Topic

A few of my fingers bend back further than most.

I am quite flexible for someone my age and size and someone recently commented on how 'acrobatic' I can be as a hockey goalie. I've never been strong but have always been quite flexible so it's been both a good and a bad thing. I've also able to touch the front of my nose with my tongue and have of course loved jump rope, gymnastics,etc as a child until the bullies made sure I wouldn't.

Ok yes hypermobility, aspy, hypersensitivity, and socially awkward. Is there a link to a site?

I am hyper-mobile in every joint/socket above my waist, but with a possible exception of my knees (which I've never tested), none below my waist.

I can, however, stretch a foot and a half beyond my feet in the "sit-and-reach" flexibility tests at school. It freaked out everyone.

I am hypersensitive, mostly to light and sound, though I am occasionally known to develop mild fixations to some textures.

<----double jointed here

Im double jointed in my thumbs but thats about it.

Most of my joints are hyper mobile. I have hyper-mobility syndrome (which my doctor discovered before I found that I have Aspergers).
I have read online and been told by a hyper mobility specialist whom I see in London that Aspergers and hyper-mobility are linked I found it very interesting

nope

I am not double-jointed, but I am fairly limber, as are a number of others in my family. I have a couple family members who are also somewhat double-jointed.
