Episode 222 - Why Cues Don't Work For Hypermobile Bodies

About this episode

This episode discusses why standard cueing techniques are ineffective for hypermobile bodies and the complexities introduced by neurodivergence.

If you're hypermobile (or train hypermobile bodies) and cues never seem to land the way you or coaches expect, it's not because you're doing something wrong. Most cues assume you already have prerequisite skills that hypermobile bodies often don't, and when you add neurodivergence into the mix, it gets even more complicated. In this episode, I break down why standard cueing doesn't work for bendy bodies, what's actually missing, and what coaches need to understand about working with hypermobility (especially when there's a brain component or neurodivergent crossover).
