Yes! Great point! Age can impact these scores and some of the diagnostic criteria does ask questions in a "can you, or could you ever...." format which accounts for folks who are losing some of the range of motion due to injuries, surgery, arthritis, etc.

Ya, now that I'm 73 everything is way way different but used to sit around on the floor as a kid with my leg behind my head just because it felt good! 😅 Plus used to be able to perform all those parlour tricks and I still have pretzel legs as well as pretzel arms. See David Goldstein dysautonomia series for description of pretzel legs phenomenon. So many EDS kids just kind of want to end up in ballet since they know they'll be able to do it well ...

9/9 - had hip dysplasia as an infant and also had an inward rotated right foot that back in the 80s they casted and corrected. Never broke anything in my life but always lots of sprains and a few dislocations. My hips and joints just ache as I get older no matter what. Then I saw the term hyper mobile about 4 years ago when my youngest son had a hard time supporting himself sitting up. Never was diagnosed but he’s got lots of flexibility. Same with my niece. Is this genetic? Just started following you guys on IG and can’t wait to do some more supportive workouts. No wonder I always hated yoga 😩

Hey! I'd recommend starting with the free hypermobility guide I linked above. You will learn a lot more with all of those resources and will have a good idea of where to start having a discussion with your medical provider. Yes, hypermobility can be genetic. A person can also have a spontaneous mutation, but it does often run in families. Strengthening can be so profound in terms of pain relief, decrease in joint subluxations and dislocations, etc. Happy you found us!

I have numerous hypermobile joints but they aren’t tested on this joint test except for my knees which scored 2 points. Edit: I used to be able to touch my thumbs to my forearm so it’s a score of 4. The testing asks “can you now (or could you ever)…
@whealth_

Yep- it's definitely not a perfect test by any means. A skilled practitioner will look at your body more globally and take other joints into consideration. This is really just an entry level assessment for unskilled providers IMO.

Hi, i have a question... i've heard that hypermobile people tends to have weaker joint, so i wondered, does it affect his lifting/exercices plus did he ever teared a tendon? I also score 9 but i never felt pain/weakness and now that i started lifting heavy i wonder if my tendons/joints are going to be a contraint in future. Thank you for you video, really educative😄

It’s not necessarily a “weaker” joint- it’s that the joint is looser and has more movement options than a typical joint. Hypermobility is a spectrum so some folks may dislocate easily and some may not. Each person is unique. Muscle can be strengthened to protect the joint and even the tendons and soft tissues will respond and adapt to loading over time when done safely. We cover all of this in our hypermobility program. We have a free hypermobility guide with more info. That would be a good place to start learning more! spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resources

The test isn't perfect. It favors the upper distal extremity joints and overlooks some of the larger joints. But it's an easy guide for the general public and practitioners who are unfamiliar. For more knowledgeable practitioners they can diagnose without using this test and can assess all joints and other symptoms and signs as well. Additionally, people can lose some of their joint hypermobility with age or injuries.

My legs look like a u shape if I don't force them to stay aligned. The hyperextension makes it hard to know where to stop when doing most exercises, but leg ones the most. The few times I've gone to physical therapy, I was injured because no one knew where to tell me to stop.

I always though i was hypermobile. I scored 4/9 because of over extended elbows and knees. Pinky finger just reached 90 degrees. Are there any further tests i can do? Is the Limitless and Strength program also suited for hypermobility, or should i choose the Hypermobility course if I'm 4/9 on the Beighton score?
@whealth_

Hey! The Brighton score is not a perfect system for testing hypermobility but it is one tool that is used. If you are hypermobile in other joints that can certainly steer someone to choosing the hypermobility program over limitless. You can also bundle Hypermobility program and strength program together just like you can bundle limitless and strength. If you're wanting to take advantage of the last day of the sale shoot us an email at info@spreadwhealth.com and we can chat with you and help you decide what program will be best in your situation!
