In today's episode I discuss why you should first focus on joints before muscles when it comes to trying to improve mobility, range of motion and movement quality. I chat about how our joints are responsible for creating movement and that if there is an issue within the joint capsule, or something is preventing the bones from moving freely relative to each other, then issues with muscular tightness cannot be resolved until the issues at the joint level is addressed. Towards the end of the episode I also explain how an issue at the joint level can lead to feeling stiff and tight, becuase of the brains inherent desire to protect the body to keep it safe from further damage or injury. This episode will be of particular interest for athletes who are dealing with a recurring injury or experience tightness and stiffness on a regular basis. I hope you enjoy the episode!

Key Points:

• Joints act, muscles react!
• Movement happens at the joint. Joints are the epicentre of movement.
• The brain and nervous system prioritises infromation from the joint capsule over information from the muscles.
• Adressing tigthness and restrictions in muscles will not impact the signal that is being sent to the brain from the joint capsule when movement happens.
• We need to fix the input that is coming back to the brain from the joints before we can resolve the output from the brain to the muscles.
