Flexible joints

These videos provide information on flexible joints and provide you with some guidance that you can follow.

If you know a child has been referred to paediatric therapy as a result of having flexible joints, it would be useful to watch these videos and try out some of these ideas before coming to an appointment.

We are really grateful to have worked in collaboration with students from New College Swindon who helped with filming, editing and produced the resources.
