- My name is Gabby; I'm 21. I used to be a gymnast for 8 years but had to quit due to a back injury. I have spondylolisthesis of my L5, which sucks, but it does not really seem to be a factor with my stretching anymore. I will gladly accept any advice in regards to stretching!
I am going to school for biochemistry/molecular biology and will maybe apply to medical school in a few years.

their flexibility is very good and steadily increasing
I want to achieve something like you do, some day
Seems like u are really flexible!!!
We are searching for feet behind head photos (contortion) to a upcoming website about and for people how can doit. I would be great if u could take some photos of u in that position and send them to us by email. You can take them in different angles and in different places. (wearing t-shirt/jeans/socks/barefeet...well u decide. (we may pay for some photos to).
It would be cool if you try to make yourself as small as you can while you are in that position....

Your pictures are really good! Did you have to make a conscious decision to keep on stretching after you stopped gymnastics? Quite a lot of people do gymnastics, and quite a lot of people "retire" before they are 17 years old, so its not that uncommon for people to stop gymnastics at an early age, although quite a lot of people seem to stop stretching completely, whereas others maintain their flexibility for long after... Is flexibility something that you had to make a decision about?
