00:00Hey everyone, welcome back to Mobile Physio.
00:03Today, we're clearing up a big confusion in the fitness and rehab world, mobility versus flexibility.
00:10They sound similar, but they're not the same.
00:13And knowing the difference can transform how you train and recover, let's start with flexibility.
00:19This is your muscles' ability to stretch or lengthen passively.
00:23Imagine sitting and reaching for your toes, your hamstrings are being stretched,
00:27but you're not actively moving the joint with strength.
00:30That's flexibility, now, mobility is different.
00:34It's your ability to actively move a joint through its full range of motion, with strength and control.
00:40Think of doing a deep squat, your hips, knees, and ankles are all moving well, under your control.
00:47Flexibility versus mobility examples, flexibility is about passive range.
00:52Can your muscle lengthen?
00:53Mobility is about active, functional range.
00:56Can you move that joint freely and powerfully?
00:58Benefits, flexibility is great for reducing stiffness and improving posture.
01:04Mobility is key for athletic performance, injury prevention, and everyday movement like bending, lifting, and reaching.
01:10Want the best results?
01:12Train both.
01:13Stretch for flexibility, and add mobility drills like controlled squats, hip circles, and shoulder rotations for active range.
01:22Together, they'll keep you moving better, stronger, and pain-free.
01:26This is Mobile Physio, helping you move with freedom.
