When I was getting my physical therapy a while back I asked the PT...and she said that many of the contorsionists on shows like that have genetic hypermobility of the tendons.
Some people call it "double jointed" but that is not really an
accurate term.
She said that hypermobile people tend to develop all sorts of
disabilities in older age groups,esp in the back.
We are only seeing them at their prime. The rest of their lives may be very painful for them.
