Exercises for Hypermobility

[@alexandmom7248]

Yes, please add more! Most physical therapists are unaware of how to deal with hypermobility, so finding a PT has been hard!

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Glad you found this useful! We will keep it up!

[@amyhoop9651]

This has been super helpful for my hypermobility. Thanks for caring and providing the detailed descriptions

[@RKelly2013]

Great video guys!! Could you show more stabilizing exercises for rotational movements of the spine? Specifically talking about rib hyper mobility

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Hey Laine! Thanks for the kind words and yes, we have some rib stuff coming out soon. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!

[@space0age0pirate]

I'd love more on hypermobility stability! I seem to hyperextend from my thoracic without realising a lot and I'm unsure of my shoulder stability too so I'll be trying the exercises in the video!

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Keep up with them and we will see what we can do in regards to getting some more hypermobility info out there!

[@rashade1621]

Nice

[@NotTheRealRopi]

IMO this is one of the best videos i've seen from you guys. Keep it up!

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Appreciate the kind words, Rodrigo!

[@lindamoore9426]

This is very effective information. Great video.

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Thanks so much, Linda! Definitely some info that needs to be shared!

I have wicked knee, neck, elbow, shoulder and hip hypermobility. Bully for me, I decided I wanted to be a kickboxer at the age of 6 and now im 35 with a body that sounds like popping bubble wrap when I stand up 😂 if I dont wrap my knees then im broken for the rest of the week I have to concentrate so hard on my ROM in the gym to boot, a few times I've caught myself bicep curling from a bent back elbow joint or flaring out into my hypermobile range on triceps workouts. Bands are helping, but without tuition I don't think I'm getting the most out of them. Will definitely be doing these Cheers

[@brockvickers688]

What about for the wrist?

[@flexxie101]

Can you do one on hitch hikers thumbs

[@GCCDISCOUNTS]

useful contect , im hypermobile in my upper body .. the bad part about is the terrible chronic neck pain

Great video, thanks!

[@sirmanni4534]

Would love to see you guys use a hyper-mobile person do theses exercises. Love your channel/ content.

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Craig definitely has some hypermobility, but we really appreciate the feedback! Thank you for being a part of the [P]rehab family!

[@spookycat854]

Great video! I have hEDS and it's causing a very painful flare up at the moment despite all the healthy changes I've been making. Is there any really easy (or pain free) warm up exercises I could do while my pain settles before I begin doing these ?

[@electrapoptart]

Oooh the spinal flexion made me so nervous to watch but at the same time it looks like it feels amazing.

[@amandareed1663]

Any suggestions for stabilizing rotational movements through the spine? And can most of these be done on a cable machine if we're strong enough? Thanks for making a video about this! 8/9 on the scale... I exacerbated a hip labrum tear trying to 'stretch it out' with ridiculous pigeon poses and needed surgery. :( I knew I was hyper mobile but had never really made the connection about needing to stabilize things until later. Physical therapy and weight lifting at my own speed and rate of progression has been extremely helpful. But these ideas for stabilizing the 'outer' limits of movement will be super helpful I think!

[@ThuHoang-nj1ld]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We flexible bendy people need more of this guidance ... SO so appreciative!!💪❤🙏

[@ThePrehabGuys]

So glad you enjoyed!!

[@ascha730]

I wouldn't use hypermobile and flexibility interchangeably. I'm super hypermobile but I'm not flexible

[@syd417]

Me too. For example, my fingers and toes are double jointed, but I am not able to bend down and touch my toes. Most people think that this is a sign of hypermobility, but nope. This is a sign of flexibility. The doctor who told me I was double jointed in my fingers and toes diagnosed me with hypermobility syndrome (as well as fibromyalgia).

[@fp7290]

These are some nice exercises to feel good for a short time. But what about long lasting results? How should hypermobile people approach compound lifts? What else is there to do to gain lasting muscle and stability in the right areas?

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Continue to progress as appropriate so your body can become strong through those ranges! We have some really great programming in our app if interested! bit.ly/tryprehabYT

[@meorpaan9771]

Hi Doc, I have hypermobility and have a past dislocation on both of my shoulders. Can I know whether its safe to do these exercises? I really hope you can reply

[@joshuakelly9580]

Do you do 3 sets of 12 for each exercise? And can you do exercises for other areas like the hips etc

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Joshua good question and depends on where you are at in your strength training journey! If wanting to work on muscle strength, shooting for 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps is a good idea and working on muscle endurance would be more appropriate for 3 sets of 10-12 reps, really depends on your goals and what you want to get back to do! Love the idea about some hip exercises! We have some really great strengthening ideas in our hip playlist if interested!

What exercises would you suggest to strengthen the joint for a baseball pitcher with very hypermobile elbows?

[@halg5144]

Thank you for this video. I have been just normal flexible all my life. However after I reached 50 and started having Perimenopause, hipermobility began from my right leg (which was already weak since I had sciatica previously. ) The leg felt kind of disconnected from my hip. Then I started having sciatica on my left leg. After that my arms started feeling longer. My wrist and ankles feel like I can rotate them 360°. I've just heard about hipermobility and realised that was, what was going on.. Despite trying to be healthy and taking good care of myself all my life I am disappointed that this is happening. I wonder if this is going to get worse

Does anyone know what kind of bands those are (the ones used for the shoulder exs)?

[@DylanD750]

Hey! I started working out at 15, At 17 I hit 225 on the bench, The day after both my wrists had killer pains. I have been to OT/PT. I still have pain in my wrists to this day. I don't know what to do or how to overcome this pain. My PT noticed I had hypermobility and like I said 3 years later I have stopped going to the gym, I have pain in both wrists. I used to actually have a good physique , I have let myself go....I am burned out and unmotivated, do you have any advice on recovery???

[@emd0004]

@ThePrehabGuys Hi! Sorry a year late to these comments lol, but stumbled upon your video looking for guidance on hypermobility stuff as it seems hard to come by. I’m relatively new to CrossFit, hypermobile for sure, had a painful shoulder impingement (secondary instability impingement), went to PT for a few months and pain is basically gone now. Dr said I should avoid any overhead exercises such as BB snatches, OH Press, hanging bar work etc bc I’m more at risk for dislocating or tearing something.…does that sound right? I thought strengthening the muscles around my rotator cuff in PT we’re supposed to help me return to being able to doing those things in CrossFit? I was really bummed to hear that and am looking for more answers/information. What are your thoughts on hypermobility and doing overhead excercises that stress your shoulders? Will doing excercises such as those in this video reduce my risk of injury with overhead and shoulder stressing excercises as a hyper mobile person? Can’t really find much info on this. Thanks for this video! A series/playlist for of more videos for hypermobile people/exercises would be awesome in the future.

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Hypermobility calls for stabilizing! Graded exposure to overhead movements can help stabilize the joint to return to activities such as CrossFit!

[@kellypet3kids]

Could it cause scapular winging? Also, I definitely have it in my elbows-quite a bit farther than 10%. I feel like the hyper mobility of my elbows make it so difficult to get muscle In my triceps and rear delts. However, my front delts and biceps are easy to add muscle to. Does this make sense? Any suggestions?

[@besi7573]

Wow what a video

[@jojannesrocas8148]

I born with naturally hyperextended elbow, is there any method to become it straight.

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Great question, Jojannes! There are many individuals who have a little bit of extra mobility in their joints such as Craig as he demonstrates in the video! The important thing here is to keep your muscles strong to be able to support this movement! Try a few of these exercises, Craig has a great one for arm and elbow strength!

[@crisstiejones8084]

My elbows are the only thing that doesn’t over extend.

[@amamad1859]

My pinky touches the back of my hand

[@StirringUpString]

Doing the test at the beginning of the video, and I can literally touch my pinky to my wrist, and my thumb to my forearm 💀 then my arms and legs bent all the way look like a goddamn clock 💀 I can touch my wrists to the floor with looseness. 💀 good god lol I have problems

Resistance bands are a great way to work on resistance training and are very versatile! Would recommend looking into getting some!
