MOBILITY vs FLEXIBILITY: I talk a lot about mobil MOBILITY vs FLEXIBILITY: I talk a lot about mobility on here (Mobility Mondays) Because I think it is so important and overlooked. However, I have gotten the question as to what the difference between mobility and flexibility is. Here ya go! Also, remember that both are extremely important. I just focus more on mobility since most people already stretch and know the benefits of it! 🔑 The difference between these two terms might be small, but pretty important. . 🤸🏽‍♂️Flexibility= the ability for a tissue to stretch aka extensibility. 🤾🏻‍♂️Mobility= the ability to ACTIVELY or passively achieve a range of motion. 👀More simply put: Flexibility is your PASSIVE range of motion Mobility is your ACTIVE range of motion How do you know what you need? 🧷If you have enough range of motion for you to do every day things and your quality of life is awesome, maybe all you need to do is move your joints daily to keep what you have. 🧷If you lack the passive range of motion to do specific tasks, you may need to increase your flexibility. Remember, stretching for hours on end won’t cause physical changes in your muscle, just neural changes 🤭 so after you “stretch” and gain more range, you want to follow it up with some ACTIVE mobility work. That is why it is so important to do both. Stretch it and then reinforce with active mobility 🧷If you have the range of motion but lack the control of this range of motion, you might need more ACTIVE mobility work in that specific range of motion. This is where you reinforce the movement patterns. 🚨Tag someone who needs to know this difference!
Warming up doesn't have to be complicated!! Just Warming up doesn't have to be complicated!! Just get moving and get your blood moving in your legs.

Same with the calves, work on getting your heels up and moving those calves more! #runningmakesmehappy #runninglifestyle #runchat #warmup #runningtips #physicaltherapist #physio Outfit: @lincactive

🏃‍♀️Movement is Medicine!!🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️Movement is Medicine!!🏃‍♀️ 🛌Too often I hear about medical professionals telling patients to rest in order to recover from various musculoskeletal problems. While a VERY temporary period of rest (24-48 hours) can be useful at times to allow an acute issue to calm down, the majority of our focus should be on finding ways to keep people moving by modifying. Research and practice both support this so let's start moving!!

🦶 What are bunions? 🦶   If you’ve ever b 🦶 What are bunions? 🦶   If you’ve ever been told you have a bunion or know someone that has one, you know exactly how they appear. Bunions have a characteristic aesthetic that makes them quite obvious. A bunion is a condition where the big toe angles towards your other smaller toes. It’s generally associated with pain on the inner surface of the base of the big toe. Bunions can range from mild to severe. Generally, there's probably no cause for concern, especially in mild cases with no pain.   BUT they can progressively get worse and can become painful so prevention and conservative treatment are 🗝️ Fix/prevent bunions by: ➊ Wear shoes with wide enough toe boxes - no narrow pointy shoes or high heels - buy foot shaped shoes such Altra, xero shoes, and vivobarefoot ➋ Try out some intrinsic toe exercises highlighted in this post ➌ Try walking barefoot around your home more often, level up with using toe spacers Today’s exercises are a snapshot of some movements I might include in a patient’s home exercise program or general exercise r 📱If you want a custom program to follow for your foot/ankle rehab (or any rehab for that matter), head to the link in my bio!

👟SHOE TYPE DOESN"T MATTER!!👟 Well almost do 👟SHOE TYPE DOESN"T MATTER!!👟 Well almost doesn't matter.... 💡Research shows that the only time a motion controlled shoe is necessary and helps prevent injury is when you are a pronator. (flat feet) Interestingly enough, with the increasing focus on running shoe design, technologies and function, running-related injury incidence has not changed noticeably over the last few decades. ❓What does this mean? It means that if you were told you needed a certain type of shoe to reduce injury etc...you shouldn't necessarily believe it. The only time any small change in injury risk with shoe type has been noted was with pronators and wearing a motion control or stability shoe. THAT'S IT!! Don't always believe the hype that is going around about shoes. To circle back to my post last week about rotating shoes. Unless you are a pronator, don't worry about if a shoe is neutral, cushioned, stability etc. Just find some that are comfortable and go with it! It is more important that the shoe feels good when you run! ❤️Like, comment, save & feel free to share with your friends!❤️ #dpt #physicaltherapist #pt #physicaltherapy #prehab #injuryprevention #injuredrunner #keeprunning #injuryfree #rehab #trainingrun #runfam #wearetherunners #tiptuesday #runningshoes #shoes #shoestore #runningmakesmehappy #runningismytherapy #runnersrepost #easyrun #runningfamily #fitmomlife #runfamily #runhappyteam #borntorunfree #runhealthy #runhappy @brooksrunning
