Mobility

"Active control of a joint through its full range of motion."

Definition

The full breakdown. What it is, why it matters, how to use it.

Mobility is range of motion you can actively own — not just passive flexibility. It depends on joint structure, muscle length, and neural control. Five to ten minutes of targeted mobility work (hips, ankles, thoracic spine, shoulders) before lifting fixes most common lifting limitations.

Question 01

Is stretching the same as mobility?

No. Stretching lengthens tissue passively; mobility trains control through that range. Strength at end-range matters more than how far you can be pushed.
