Mobility is more than just stretching. It is the interplay of joints, muscles, fascia and coordination. Mobility means being able to move freely in a controlled manner – without stiffness, without evasive movements, without uncertainty. It is based on:
a functioning joint structure
strong, well-coordinated muscles
elastic connective tissue
regular, varied exercise
Mobility can decrease with increasing age, one-sided strain or long periods of sitting. Targeted stimuli – through exercise, training and supportive care – can help to maintain a person’s natural ability to move.
Mobility and flexibility are promoted by
regular strength and stabilisation exercises
active mobilisation movements
conscious everyday movement
supplementary support for joint and connective tissue structures
