I am very grateful for my fellow Zebra Philip Quigley, a musician from Leyland in Lancashire UK, who wrote the music for this video and just for this channel. Thank you. I am delighted to have my own theme tune.

P.S. Please do check with your medical practitioner if you decide to try my exercises or courses - especially if you haven't exercised in a while, are pregnant, if you have a balance disorder, are new to exercise or have an ongoing medical condition that may affect your ability to exercise.

It's so incredibly helpful that you're showing what we normally do instead of just what we're supposed to do, being able to see the difference is so good. Thank you for this video 🙂

Lots of people in the comments are in the same situation as me! I am 33 and only now I figured this out about my body. Your explanation and advice will certainly change how I move and exercise, as I ended up with tennis elbow due to my hypermobile elbow joints. Great video, excellent tips!!! As someone else said: you changed my life. Literally. Thank you so much for this!!!

Wow! 40 years of PT's, rehabilitation hospitals, multiple herniated discs and other injuries and nobody told and showed!! me this. I immediately went to my exercise mat and 😱 now I know what's supposed to feel to lean on your arms, perform an upward facing dog etc. Thank you!! I'm new to your channel. My goal for tomorrow: watch and try more videos. 💗

You are providing so many of us such a huge, positive impact on the quality of our lives. I can not thank you enough for this video I almost cried and kept saying "oh my god yes finally" because its been hard to explain and alter on my own. Yoga was so painful in the hands, wrists and elbows nothing really helped except instead using the fingertips which was minimal relief. Also the fact that you even went as far as to mention how to grab and just functikn correctly and described it in such good detail... I wisv providers would care enough to provide something as little and easy as this... we are so lucky to have human beings likr you to share something so powerful. May seem like "common sense" to others who do not battle with this but its difficult to feel "stuck" or "locked" and not knoe hoe to align everything or use it properly altogether. And I know I can not be alone on that. But at the end of the day, sharing compassion and knowledge selflessly is true power

Thanks! This helped me avoid elbow and wrist pain while doing pushups!

Thank you for this advice, Jeannie. I'm in my mid 40s, was diagnosed with HSD 10 years ago and only found out last week that my elbows are considered hypermobile! It's so weird to find something I've been doing all my life isn't 'normal' for most people LOL! Thank you for the advice to put my weight through the outside of my hands when doing floor exercises. I shall work on this spiraling out technique.

[brandyhodges]

I have needed this for so long. Thank you! 🥰

[amyhoop]

This is so helpful! Excellent detailed description. Thank you!

[GurrGamer]

You have no idea how much I hate having this. It makes exercising almost impossible and I’ve given up so many times. I have to put extra effort into the most basic stuff. It’s mostly my elbow so planks are like a torture. I’m glad I’ve come across your video.

[lucretia_macevil]

I wish I knew I had Hypermobile EDS last year, I broke my arm in 7 places and crushed my elbow...had a 8 hour surgery and a 6 month recovery because I was hyperextended in my elbow and someone fell on me!

Thank you for this!

[Nayz]

Thanks for this, I’ve never had many problems with my one hyper mobile elbow until I started trying handstands

[monicavalencia]

thank you sooo much. you saved my elbows and arms. I thought I had the weakest arms but I just had to adjust the position I was making when working out

[i.m.hidden]

This info is a game-changer for me. Thank you so much!

[XxQueenOfHeartzxX]

Excellent video. Do you happen to have any suggestions of what kind of support/splints I can use during workouts?

[clairegriffiths]

This is really interesting. I struggle with pilates because it's really painful on my wrists and my elbows turn inwards, so a press up for example is almost impossible. Is it really as easy as putting your weight on the outside of your hands?

[lemon_boii]

I didnt know i had hypermobile elbows till i had my first pilates class yesterday and the teachwr used me as an example of what that was and what not to do 😂

[Shrty]

How would you do a push up? My arms are the same, I am 30 and seriously just finding out there’s some exercises to help

[YellowBricks]

Thank you so much!! I never knew this. I do a lot of yoga which requires weight bearing on the arms, and sometimes when I do the planks my elbows start to shake and at one point one of them gave way and I fell. Does this indicate then I would have a hypermobile elbow? I do also get pain in my elbow when I'm sitting at a desk too and constantly feel the need to stretch it. Thank you!

[DunkzGamng]

Awesome video. I am forever telling hypermobile people to soften elbows... and mostly they ignore me lol. Its quite a big problem in fitness e.g. yoga where we are constantly being told to straighten arms and legs which for a hypermobile person becomes hyperextension.

[erikaburgoyne-hongell]

This really helped my elbows but what about my wrists? I can’t do exercises on all fours because my wrists hyperextend and hurt almost immediately
