Total Attention to You!!

What is Joint Mobility?

Joint mobility is the range of motion found when muscles surrounding 2 bones contract or relax creating joint movement causing adjacent bones to articulate, slide, glide, hinge or pivot with each other.

Without good Joint Mobility a person will be restricted in their joint’s available range of motion. Typical restrictions in joint range of motion are due to shortened or lengthened muscles. Limited range of motioned can also occur to conditions with the joint itself and can carry with it joint pain or stiffness.

What is Flexibility?

Flexibility is a muscle’s ability to lengthen or stretch to it’s appropriate length when needed, to allow a body part or parts to move through all available ranges of motion.

Flexibility is typically one of the most forgotten or overlooked aspects of health. Poor flexibility could lead to limited ranges of motion in one or multiple joint(s) up and down a person’s kinetic chain. In order for a person to be healthiest version of them possible, equal focus and attention must be given to flexibility.
