Thanks for the heads up – and so great to hear of your kids doing so well. At the moment, it appears to mainly affect her lower limbs, but we’ll keep our eye on it. Thank you for the lovely comment. x

What a gorgeous video!
My children (15 and 10) are both hyper mobile. The eldest used to hate PE so much she would pretend to be ill to try to avoid it at Primary School. Year 6 cycling proficiency was a nightmare. At secondary school it seems easier, probably because there are so many kids that it’s easier to hide.
My youngest is dreading cycling proficiency too, but is passionate about football and that has really helped him become stronger, as long as he wears his insoles.
Watch out for hypermobile fingers when your daughter starts school – this can affect writing ability. My son is learning to touch type because of this.

One of my dearest friends has JUST discovered at 18 months that her son is hypermobile and because they took him for Physio because he wasn’t yet walking or load bearing.

Am about to watch the video but know it’ll be emotional.

Well done her on keeping the score ONE NIL.

Ah bless her, thank you for your comment Jodie. Do you find insoles help at all? They make a big difference for my little girl.
