Relating to or involving the act of twisting the body or something else into unusual shapes.
Formed by adding the suffix '-al' (relating to) to 'contortion', creating an adjective that describes things pertaining to twisting or deformation.
This adjective is rarely used in everyday language, but contortional movements require exceptional muscle control and spatial awareness—gymnasts and dancers develop these skills through neurological training that rewires how their brain processes body positioning.
