Mobility and Flexibility: Beyond Stretching
Mobility and flexibility play a crucial role in overall movement quality and injury prevention. While stretching is important, dynamic mobility work and fascia release techniques are equally vital.
Key Differences:
- Flexibility refers to muscle elasticity and length.
- Mobility involves joint movement and stability.
Improving Mobility:
- Dynamic stretches (e.g., leg swings, arm circles) improve range of motion.
- Foam rolling releases muscle tightness and enhances circulation.
- Controlled joint rotations enhance movement efficiency.
By focusing on mobility and flexibility, individuals can reduce stiffness, move more efficiently, and prevent injuries.
