Imagine being the kid who could always win at Twister, the one whose fingers bent back like they were made of rubber. Friends might have called you "double-jointed," and it was all a bit of fun. #Beightonscore #collagen #EhlersDanlossyndrome #JointHypermobilitySyndrome #jointpain #looseligaments #physicaltherapy

Problem is: that omission stalls their recovery. That’s according to data from a SSRS probability-based national survey analyzed by rehabilitation specialists at the Ohio State University. The survey of 1,006 U.S. adults with prescribed therapy shows that only 24% complete all of their assigned at-home physical therapy exercises. Another 28% complete 75–99% of the exercises, 27% complete 50–74%, 11% complete 25–49%, 8% complete only 1–25%, and 2 percent skip all therapeutic exercise. Age mades a difference: 30% of adults 65 and older complete all assignments compared with just 12% of adults under 30. The most common reasons for skipping exercises? Forgetting — according to 40%. Another 33% blame lack of time, while 22% call the exercises boring or repetitive. Physical therapists emphasize that the 1 to 3 hours spent weekly in clinic isn’t, on its own, sufficient to speed and complete recovery. That requires consistent daily movement and strength-building at home. Skipping exercises delays healing, prolongs pain, and even jeopardizes optimal surgical outcomes. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260216/Survey-7625-of-surgical-patients-dont-complete-physical-therapy-homework-leading-to-stalled-recoveries.aspx #physicaltherapy #rehabilitation #homeexercise #surgery".
In case it would be useful to others, I asked my awesome physical therapist what I should use for back support on a plane and she suggested these two. The company is based in Minnesota. I've been getting PT for a disc or SI issue for a couple of months now and I'm mostly better.

PT has added core exercises to my schedule. I have a few physical issues that will hopefully be corrected/helped with them. 🤞
Found a step converter and I'm averaging almost 4 miles each time I use the cross trainer. This made me very happy! 😀
Sherbert, bless her, has another egg almost ready to be laid. Poor thing. 🦜 🪺
