When external force acts on a body ,the change in the shape and size of a body is determined by the force between its atoms or molecules.This short range atomic force are called elastic force .A body is said to be perfectly elastic, if it recovers original size and shape when the external force are removed.
And , it does not mean "How flexible your body is".
