Today we're talking all about the famous Beighton Scale!🤩

Unfortunately like many things involving hypermobility, the Beighton Scale ends up resulting in a lot of confusion and frustration for hypermobile people❤️‍🩹

In this episode we talk about👇

• WHAT the Beighton Scale is (and what it isn't!)
• the HISTORY of the Beighton Scale (including a love story!)
• and WHY the Beighton Scale causes so many problems for hypermobile people (and what YOU can do about them!)
