Ep. 77: Hypermobility & ADHD–It’s All Connected!

Weirds of a Feather

Think it’s fun to dislocate your shoulder as a neat party trick? Think again pal, because all that high-class entertainment is putting your joints at risk and we’re here to tell you to cut it out.

This episode Kristin is covering the statistically significant connection between neurodivergence and hypermobility. She’s breaking down the traits of hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, taking you through the Beighton Scoring System to help you assess your own bendiness, and providing some helpful resources for getting your body back into alignment.

If your skin stretches for miles, you have a loose front, or you’re blissfully unaware of where your body is in space at all times, come join us for a stretchy little episode–your tendons and joints will thank you.
