squirming - twisting - wriggling - contorting - thrashing - flailing - writhing
Writhing refers to making continual twisting, squirming movements or contortions of the body. It often implies a struggle or discomfort and can be used to describe physical reactions to pain, distress, or intense emotion. The movements are typically irregular, often involving the entire body or parts of it. In literature, it can also refer to a character's or creature's movements, adding to the vividness of the description.
