This blog is about dance injury in general, and in particular, my own personal recovery and rehabilitation following a calf injury. There is a lot about hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Type III Hypermobility Syndrome and the multisystemic nature of my treatment, including documented physiotherapy treatment

Acquired Hypermobility
I have acquired some more hypermobility - in my thumb. This is certainly possible (Bird, 2004, Bird, 2007) and now gives me a Beighton Score of 6.
I find that it depends on the day for me. Sometimes I am loosey-goosey and other days I am really stiff in a joint or two.
I can't usually put my hands flat on the floor the first time down, but I get enough stretch in my hamstrings that the second time I roll down I can go hands-flat to the floor.

Congratulations! Just kidding.

Strange how the body works.
Be good to yourself and your joints!
