I m not one to post shirtless “look at my body pics since i’ve left my twenties behind but yes look at my body lol The first picture is now at 44. My workout is my job, wrangling in the mountains (tan lines to prove it lol) mixed in with @prmlmethod system. I feel good. i’m strong and functional.  The second pic is me when i am 35. I had a trainer at times, worked out in the gym every single day for at least 1- 1 1/2, my diet was strict and i did cardio as well. I was often in chronic pain and overall not function as smoothly as i do now. Thanks again to Neil @prmlmethod #fitness #health #workouts

PART THREE ❤️ Because apparently Neil and I have more joints to compare 😂

I have hEDS and a LOT of joint hypermobility so these movements come very easily to me. I’m not stretching into them or trying to become more flexible — this is simply how my body naturally moves (and I work very hard to strengthen and control these movements so I don’t hang out there ever!)

Neil is strong, mobile and flexible, but he isn’t hypermobile, which makes him a very useful comparison 😂❤️

This time we’re looking at the neck, fingers, W-sitting, knee extension, prayer hands and a few other little differences.

Please don’t force your joints into extreme positions to see if you can do these movements — and don’t hang out at end range just because you can. This is a demonstration, not a challenge. ❤️

Being hypermobile isn’t the same as being mobile or flexible. They can look similar on the surface, but they’re very different.

And hypermobility can look very different from person to person. Some people with hEDS are extremely hypermobile, others much less so. No single movement tells us whether someone has symptomatic hypermobility, HSD or a connective tissue disorder.

Important: Being bendy isn’t necessarily a problem. Many people are naturally flexible or hypermobile and never experience symptoms. For others, joint hypermobility can be one feature of a broader condition affecting the body’s connective tissue. That’s why no single movement, symptom or body quirk tells the whole story.

These are so fun to make!❤️

I’m a physio with hEDS and my joints naturally lack stability. None of these movements involve me stretching much at all- they’re simply how my body moves.

Whereas my lovely husband, Neil, is naturally strong, fit, and has excellent mobility and flexibility. He also helps people who lack flexible natural movement and strength as a mobility coach, so he’s the perfect person to demonstrate the difference. (If you have a stiff person in your life send them to Neil @prmlmethod) ❤️

Being hypermobile isn’t the same as being mobile or flexible. They can look similar on the surface, but they’re very different.
