							Hello, 
I've already been to see a physio about this but she didn't know what it was so let me explain.
Since i was really young I've always been able to bend my legs the wrong way, I'd sit with my bum on the floor and my knees forward and my calf's next to my bum, with my feet pointing out. soon the other kids noticed and said it was weird so i told my mum and we went to have physio.
 
I used to do gymnastics but stopped because my legs couldn't support some of the poses because they would bend. Also, my spine is VERY curved, my back is a sort of S shape. I can bend my arms a lot as well but I think its normal. I want to know what this means and what it is, and whether there are other people like me. Another thing is that I can touch my foot to my waist by pivoting my hip, which I don't think is normal.
