How Good Is Your Mobility? Understanding Your Body's Movement Potential

Mobility is more than just being flexible – it's about having control and freedom of movement throughout your body's full range of motion. In today's increasingly sedentary world, good mobility has become crucial for both daily activities and athletic performance.

To assess your mobility, consider these key areas:

Can you touch your toes while keeping your legs straight?
Are you able to squat deeply while keeping your heels on the ground?
Can you raise your arms overhead without arching your back?
Do you have the ability to rotate your torso without moving your hips?

Poor mobility can lead to various issues, including:

Chronic pain and discomfort
Increased risk of injury
Reduced athletic performance
Difficulty performing everyday tasks

The good news is that mobility can be improved at any age. Regular mobility work should include:

Dynamic stretching exercises
Joint rotation movements
Controlled articular rotations (CARs)
Functional movement patterns

Experts recommend spending at least 10-15 minutes daily on mobility work. This can be done as part of your warm-up routine or as a standalone practice. Remember that consistency is key – small, regular efforts often yield better results than occasional intense sessions.

To maintain good mobility, it's essential to:

Stay active throughout the day
Avoid prolonged sitting
Practice proper post
