One Minute Anatomy: Hyperextension of the knees

[@babua077]

Who else has been hyperextending their knee and just realised now?

[@stoOberp]

Who else is fishing for likes lol

[@KenanTurkiye]

Count me in as a hyperextender. :/ Now working on it in 2022.

[@Pioramic]

I’ve done it all my life and now my knees are not happy

[@robcornejo9597]

Omg...this just solved my problems. I keep getting head/neck/shoulder pain alot. And my mother always complains on why i stand with my hips forward. But now by know i need to stop flexing my knees....it could stop all my pain and for better posture. Thank you so much for this!!

[@romanellisgirl11]

“Stop hyperextending” what if someone has EDS and their body just takes to that position naturally???

[@dreamervanroom]

The same advice for them. People with the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome are generally characterized by joint hypermobility (joints that stretch further than normal), skin hyperextensibility (skin that can be stretched further than normal), and tissue fragility. As the person learns to actively correct her-himself the negative affects resulting from the disorder, over the years, will be lessened. Gravity works with everyone. (I am a fan of "Upright Health".)

[@hangukhiphop]

My guess would be light to moderate weight training so that your muscles can compensate for any weaknesses in your connective tissue.

[@tanavat555]

I used to do this alot in millitary school. thanks for knowledge

[@tarancourchesne1947]

Your blog about this (from which I came) was so clear. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@haynakuSG]

I have joint hyper mobility so I literally can’t stop :/

[@dreamervanroom]

Then you can't stop the eventual negative effects. Maybe you can with attention. You might want to think of it as STARTING to control the position of your body. I bet you do that already from time to time.

[@haynakuSG]

@@dreamervanroom I try my best when I think of it, but it's extremely uncomfortable to keep them unlocked when I'm standing :(

[@DonkyFarts]

@@haynakuSG same. i try to not bend them backward but when i do it’s literally impossible for me to keep balance

[@JyotirmoyDas]

Any recommendations for exercise to fix it?

[@dreamervanroom]

"Awareness makes the change." Pay attention and keep correcting yourself. Doing Tai Chi -> in a form that pays attention to the connection between your pelvis (dan tien) knees feet earth connection (sung) would be helpful. I take classes with The School of Tai Chi Chuan. It is based in New York and, at the moment 2020, Zooms worldwide. www.taichichuan.org/

[@lustrous5674]

I'm 17 years old and i do have both hyperextension both elbow and knee for maybe since i was a kid, and i just realized when i saw my photo when playing football, and i just like "wait..why my knee looks weird"

[@Sa1nt_LT]

[@oryanit]

Thank you!! 🙏

[@soundaryaraja8886]

I don't actually know about that .....but just by swiping came to know that it was hypertension......... bitter truth I have hypertension leg ..🤢

[@krillin3350]

How to fix this condition. I'm suffering from this condition.

[@Iamsylar567]

any tips to prevent it ? welll people with eds hypermobility cant do it actively.

[@abigailcasey6790]

I hyperextended it by a girl running into my knee full force when i was standing straight up. I cant land on my knee without it hurting and idk how to fix it. Please give me some tips

[@MobileGameGod]

my knee isn't able to hyperextend in a hyper mobile way. but I always stand up with hyperextended knees. idk if you get what im saying. like I rest my bodyweight on my knee joint extending them to their max capacity.

[@rolannebouchard356]

My left knee at the bottom of the kneecap while walking feels like it folds backward and causes me a dramatic shock of pain! It takes my Effing breath away when it happens. I don't know what to do

[@nicolasiiiletzar7984]

Idk but i have nerological problems so i cannot take thiq positions/ i mean hyperextention my leg because i am going to shake and fall two seconds later

[@dreamervanroom]

And you're already good on this one. You can find YOUR next lesson somewhere else.

[@cybermonkey80]

Dancers watching this like 👁️👄👁️

[@juliaobrien5456]

I am a ballerina so I have to hyper extend my knee lol

[@JewelsByRainnAndContortion]

Im an at home contortionist and ballerina tho i dont call myself that I just say i do pointe ballet But I try so hard to do it because its just ✨ I teach myself to do it while dancing

[@Mr.Elf_T4YT]

Im 17 and two days ago a coworker pointed out i stand weird then i looked in the mirror and realize i did😂😂. I dint any problems geuss i was born with it, just went in the kitchen and saw that she had it

[@chrisswildlife7166]

The thing is, if you’re a ballerina or something, you actually WANT to have hyperextension, soo I don’t know now. I mean it’s really common anyway.

[@alphagadgetsstore]

Yeh, i saw some skinny dude doing this.....

[@ThelastRonin2005]

WOW

[@lordseventhmusic4073]

I dont want to hyperextend my knees but they do what can i do to fix that

[@Mr.Elf_T4YT]

Nothing u were born with it, its crazy how when ur not aware of things u have no problem, but the minute you have awareness ur world seems so complicate now

[@ysc7709]

@@Mr.Elf_T4YT youre not born with it. Its a consequence of bad posture. Stop blaming genetics for every problem and spread fake facts that you cant do anything about it. In fact you can change it.

[@alexjones843]

Oh someone tell me what happened to my knee and I got it stuck on the side of my knee mean i saw my knee and it was on the side my of leg… I am ✨traumatize✨

[@jeremiah6182]

I know a lot of people

[@abhishek_Sharma397]

Sanji has to stop doing that😟

[@Mr.Elf_T4YT]

Im 17 and was born with it, im stronger than half these people this comment section i dont see the problem with it

[@furryplantsandcoins9070]

You probably won't until you're about my age and you realize all the problems could be because of that. I was looking at another video I was talking about strengthening your hip, knee, and back muscles. When I was younger I didn't think there was anything wrong with it but my knee pain won't go away. I've had issues with it since I was seven. So much fun Good luck hopefully you'll get it figured out or you'll be in pain like the rest of us old people in the comment section😂 which I don't think I'm that old but I'm a lot older than you are.

[@Mr.Elf_T4YT]

@@furryplantsandcoins9070 we’ll see, and i geuss there different rate of how severe it is, ive seen someone at my school and his needs bend pretty far, i try to stay in shape so thats might be a factor why im not that affected by it

[@furryplantsandcoins9070]

@@Mr.Elf_T4YT for sure the amount of stretching and strengthening your muscles will have a lot to do with it.
