* There are certain diseases/diagnoses where hyper-mobility is difficult to control without slipping into injury. If you know you have this issue, or you find going to end range with these movements aggravates your joints, you may need to be more careful than the average bear. It doesn’t mean you should be afraid to move, but you may have to exercise more caution. Try starting with very slow, very low-tension movement as an antidote to wrapping your joint(s) with fear.
