Physiotherapy terms
15 Answers
Anyone know the physiotherapy term for someone who is very supple (nearly too supple) - I think it has the word 'mobile' in it. Thanks.

Hi Pixi - what form does your take (if you feel comfortable saying)? My five year old daughter has seen the physiotherapists today and she is not quite hyperemobile but is 'stretchy' all over. Her biggest problem is that she falls over loads because she walks with her feet too close together - the rest of the 'floppiness' is not causing her any bother.
I think it takes different forms, sherrard. you can get it in your joints or muscles. I have it in my muscles, which I think is the lesser evil. I am sitting with my legs in a stupid position because I'm not good at sitting properly in a chair. I'm very bendy and always sit badly.
my 3 yr old niece was diagnosed with it last week, and they ordered a mini-yoga ball thingie for her to sit on.

I have Hypermobility as does my son too although he has hypotonia too ((low mucles tone))..
For me it effects my knees and wrists the worst.. although one of my shoulders at the moment wont stay in socket grrr, that and my hips popping in and out of socket too. God it makes you feel sick at the thought LOL. All the ligaments are over stretched on mine way too far and the joint bends a hell of a lot more then it should :D
My son doesn't have much co-ordination with his and is forever falling over and his legs hurting him when he walks. He sees a Occupational Therapist with it but that's also including his assessments he has due to Sensory Problems with his Autism.
They say if you by the time you reach 21 you will know if you have grown out of it or not. It's more common for girls apparently to be hypermobile too.

Me too along with the fibromyalgia and arthritis (so even though I can move more than it should it bloody hurts a lot more now haha - restricted in other ways too). I did dancing and gymnastics etc... when I was younger, had just figured I was more flexible because of that but possibly ended up overdoing things because of it, not realising I maybe wasn't meant to move that much.
Like Sara I am really bad at sitting properly and my popping out of place is my ribs.
