Flexibility Vs Mobility

These terms typically get used interchangeably; however, they are very distinct Flexibility denotes the ability for a muscle to be lengthened At the same time, mobility represents the ability of a joint to move through a range of motion Both are essential to healthy movement, posture, strength, and performance Let’s dig a little deeper and look at ways to improve both

If a muscle cannot lengthen, the associated joint cannot move with a full range of motion This results in altered movement patterns, which will impact posture and performance Once muscles can lengthen, it will increase the range of motion on the joint but will also require these muscles to provide strength and stability.

Flexibility requires muscles to be able to lengthen but does not require muscles to be strong. It is possible for someone to be flexible but lack mobility. To be mobile, muscles need to be tensible as well as strong to protect the joint in movement. Therefore, healthy movement is translated as your ability to move strongly and stably without restriction. This is the key to injury prevention and optimal performance.

There are many ways to improve flexibility and mobility

One of the most effective ways is loaded stretching

This is where you slowly increase the range of motion during a weighted exercise Loaded stretching is optimal for three reasons:

Improvement of range of motion through your body’s natural movement pattern

Effectively uses distributed weight to help elongate muscles

Promotes the strengthening of stabilizing muscles
