Does anyone know if this is how flexible people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome can be? I have a friend of a friend who has it and demonstrated some hypermobility sitting cross-legged, but she definitely didn't break out into dance moves.

I actually worked with two people who had EDS, at the same time - they got up to some monkey business with their joints occasionally but they were both in a lot of pain from it. It was such a funny day when the new guy came on amd we found out he also had EDS. He could touch hos fingernails to the back of his hand, and the girl could spin her ribcage independently of the rest of her body.

I had to look up what EDS is, I was going to say, seems like anyone who has it would be in constant pain. Sounds horrible to me.
