looks HM to me have you checked the beighton score http://www.hypermobility.org/beighton.php
that is the criteria for hypermobility syndrome altho all bendys dont score in all areas eg i dont have knee joints that are classed as HM even tho they are more flexable than non bendies and my neck is very bendy but doent count......but i am classed as having HMS, and remember marf and EDS are also very flexable
if i can help give me a shout

Hi Ash,

I wouldnt have thought that would be a sign of Hypermobility. Floppyness of wrists, ankles, knees etc are what are generally seen as signs of it.
