Yes, double jointed or hypermobility is when the joint is very flexible or lax. This can occurs in many joints but is most common in fingers and limbs. For example, if one is double jointed in their elbow, when they extend their arm the elbow will appear to be bent the opposite way or curving inward.

Can you be double jointed in your tongue?

The term "double-jointed" is a misnomer and not medically accurate. What people commonly refer to as being double-jointed is actually increased flexibility or hypermobility in the joints due to various factors such as genetics or training. The tongue is a muscular organ and does not have joints like the rest of the body, so it cannot be double-jointed in the traditional sense. However, some individuals may have increased flexibility in their tongue muscles, allowing them to perform unique movements or shapes with their tongue.
