Mobility is defined as the ability to move freely through one's environment and do the things they want to do with their body. It involves having native range of motion and the ability to control that range of motion. Maintaining flexibility and addressing issues before they become injuries is important. Simple tests can be done to assess range of motion in areas like hips, shoulders, and ankles. There are ways to improve mobility that can be incorporated into daily activities.
