Working on mobility daily increases range of motion and mitigates the risk of injury. Overly tight muscles lead to pain in your joints and a greater risk of strained or pulled muscles. Increased range of motion makes activities of daily living easier, like getting down and up off the floor. A daily practice can take 5-10 minutes and focuses on total body movements that works joints through all positions. Think about your ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, neck, and spine moving through flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, supination/pronation, and rotation.
