Neurological Tightness: The Gatekeeper of Range of Motion
neurological tightness is a critical factor in determining our movement capabilities. We must acknowledge its role as a gatekeeper to better understand why traditional stretching methods may fall short and develop more comprehensive approaches to enhancing flexibility and ROM. Considering both mental and physical aspects, this holistic view paves the way for more effective movement training and rehabilitation strategies.
Range of Motion Compendium
The Range of Motion Compendium explores the relationship between range of motion (ROM) and functional mobility, emphasizing the importance of passive range of motion (PROM) and the length-tension relationship in achieving optimal movement strategies. The article highlights the transition from passive to active range of motion (AROM) and the significance of connective tissue architecture in understanding musculoskeletal organization. Additionally, it introduces the concept of bioflow, challenging traditional views of movement and ROM by emphasizing the interconnectedness of body tissues in force transmission. The neurophysiological component of range of motion is also briefly mentioned, providing a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing human movement and performance.
Mobility Fix 101
Range of motion (ROM) and functional mobility are trainable skills that can significantly impact performance and injury prevention. Tailored assessment and training programs are key to improvement, involving targeted inputs, structured programs, and consistent, focused effort. Beyond flexibility, developing strength and neuromuscular control is crucial for proper functional mobility.
Biginner’s Guide to Range of Motion
The blog covers the importance of range of motion (ROM) as the foundation for all movements and its direct relation to functional mobility. Establishing a starting point (Point A) is essential to tracking progress and personalizing mobility programs while setting realistic movement goals.
