Mobility vs. Flexibility

Mobility = being able to move freely 🤸‍♀️ No pain, no interruption.

Flexibility = passive stretching of soft tissues, as well as movement of a joint or a group of muscles 💪

Mobility focused exercises wake up the nervous system🧠 It also increases overall circulation and makes the body more receptive for stretches and flexibility work later in your workout.

Physiotherapy can help with both of these concepts!
