# Lesson 1.2

In *sekibaku*, restriction does not come from the rope but from the body. In this lesson, we introduce the **study of applied anatomy and biomechanics**, to prevent the risks inherent in shibari through an understanding of how the body works.

 Estimated reading time: 39 minutes.


## 1.2.5 Hypermobility

Joint hypermobility increases range of motion; knowing what happens in a hypermobile person’s body allows us to stabilize their joints and monitor ranges and compensations during practice.

 Estimated reading time: 2 minutes.

Risk prevention comes from knowing the body and from communication between the person tying and the person being tied; knowing how to react in time when something is not right is as much a part of the technique as tying.

 Estimated reading time: 12 minutes.

A second look at functional anatomy applied to shibari: the body’s systems, how restriction affects them, and which limits must never be crossed.

 Estimated reading time: 10 minutes.

A first look at functional anatomy applied to shibari: the parts of the body we work with, how they respond, and the risks we need to know about.

## 1.2.1 Anatomical restriction

![1.2.1 Anatomical restriction](https://shibari-dojo.online/images/course/t121en_sq.webp)

Here, anatomy is studied as a tool for understanding the effects of restriction on the body, starting from common positions and figures analyzed from a biomechanical perspective, with criteria for adapting practice to each person.

 Estimated reading time: 5 minutes.
