As many of you already know my little Bendy Boo has Hypermobility Syndrome.
This means she’s super bendy and often dislocates.
Boo wears special supports in her shoes to support her joints and also has to do daily physio.
Sometimes she doesn’t want to do her physio and sometimes she likes to show off how clever she is at remembering all of her exercises!
These daily physio sessions, for us, are ordinary moments. But these ordinary moments often are wonderful, giggly, together moments.
This one we call the bridge! Boo has to lift her bottom off the floor while keeping her legs together (try it! It’s not easy!) we often end up falling and laughing.
This next one is special because before her physio sessions, Boo couldn’t lie flat on her tummy. It was too painful for her. But look! Now she can almost lie totally flat and that’s after only 8 months of physio!
Her favourite exercise is hugging her knees! If they’ve been good and not dislocated that day she tells them she loves them! If they’ve been bad she tells them off!
Her daily physio takes us around half an hour and it’s just an ordinary part of our day.
An ordinary moment shared with you.

It’s so great to hear she’s getting on so well. We found physio a huge help. We don’t yet know the extent of F’s hypermobility – she doesn’t dislocate and doesn’t seem to be in pain now she has the insoles, but it’s fantastic to hear such a positive outcome from another little girl who is so bendy. x
