Flexibility vs Mobility... and why mobility is a winner!

Yes, that is me as a child wearing my mum's aerobics outfit
😂
Flexibility is the ability of a muscle to lengthen passively to the end of its range (how far you can stretch). Mobility is the ability of a joint to move ACTIVELY through its range of motion (how well you can move around a joint).
🤸‍♀️
Flexibility on its own can be dangerous- having the muscle length without the strength & control through the whole range can cause instability and injury. Mobility takes into account the joint and the motor control within the nervous system. Mobility is FUNCTIONAL- and wellness is all about function!

Yoga and stretching isn't "the deeper the better". I encourage you to move with mindfulness & control. To learn more on how to benefit from mobility training for wellness, injury prevention, and enhanced performance, get in touch.
