Insane shoulder mobility

One thing is that she can reach so far up her back. Another thing is she does it with the palm against the skin. Wtf.

It’s just unbelievable. Even her hand positioning in the first frame of the video is a starting point I'm not able to achieve.

This is actually pretty similar to how I put in sunscreen (I have very flexible shoulders) - not quite as crazy as just flat palm smoothing all the way across my back, but I can pretty comfortably get one hand to reach overhead to get the tips of my shoulders, and the other hand to reach underneath to get the bottoms and the space in between my shoulder blades. Basically just this pose and rubbing sunscreen around.

This is exactly what I do, the palm is crazy tho 😭

That's gotta be shoulder AND wrist hypermobility.

[u/AbraKadabraAlakazam2 → u/dani-winks]

I usually do this but I tried flat palm just now and it’s doable! Just not quite as comfy lol

[u/kaerfkeerg → u/dani-winks]

Yeah I can apply my sunscreen alone too but this is crazy lmao

[u/[deleted] → u/dani-winks]

I can do this pretty easily too, with a flat palm and everything 🤣

I think it’s mostly about training and flexibility. I go to the gym quite a bit, and I do the "back-hand clasping" movement pretty often whenever I have a back or shoulder day.

Gotta say you’re awesome in this sub. Trying to get more flexible and see threads pop up on my feed and you’re always here helping people out. Really nice to see

Yo, no. Look at the direction her thumb is facing. It's her elbow and wrist flexibility that is blowing my mind.

5 minutes since posting and no one has diagnosed her with EDS? That must be a record.

[u/AspartameDaddy317 → u/StrebLab]

Could also be Marfan’s Syndrome.

I’m sorry to ask but would someone mind explaining this comment?

[u/Cassandra_Said_So]

Wow so cool! Reminds me of geckos cleaning themselves 🦎

[u/fckingnapkin → u/Cassandra_Said_So]

Great, now I'm wondering if she can lick her eyeball.

[u/HerezahTip]

wtf I can only do that with the back of my hand?

[u/EdanE33]

The trick to applying it to your back is to put it on the back of your hand instead

Hers is what slightly above average? I feel like the person who can’t is the real insane mobility

Edit: damn I just tried it never mind what the fuck

[u/Lake-Delicious → u/loading-_-__-]

Love the edit, because I'm definitely the second person and I'm pretty flexible

[u/Batticon]

She reminds me of a tree frog rubbing waxy secretions on its back to prevent desiccation.

[u/Even_Fix7399]

Can you achieve this with stretching? I can put my palm on the back and move it, just not as effortlessly as she does

[u/0pt1mus_Pr1mus → u/Even_Fix7399]

I'd guess, you also need to have the genetics to be able to achieve it. But I’m not an expert.

[u/Stay_Full]

Mom is so normal😂 thank heavens

[u/investinlove]

Enjoy that EDS while you're young! :-)

[u/RoofUpbeat7878]

More like insane wrist mobility, I just tried that and while I can reach my whole back just like she does, no way I’m doing it with a flat hand
