Defining Mobility and Its Misunderstandings
Mobility is often confused with range of motion, leading to misconceptions about its true nature. In the podcast, it is explained that mobility should be viewed as the potential for movement; essentially, whether joints can achieve desired positions without physical limitations. Many individuals perceive they have mobility issues due to a lack of strength or control rather than structural restrictions. This understanding empowers athletes to realize that improving motor skills and control may enhance their performance without needing extensive mobility work.
