The Importance of Having Good Range of Motion

Do you experience limits on your mobility or sore or stiff joints? Have you had a recent surgery or injury? Are you involved in an activity with repetitive movement?

Improving your range of motion is beneficial to your entire body.

What is range of motion?

Range of motion refers to the distance and direction that a joint can move between the flexed and extended positions.

Each joint has a normal range of motion that is measured in degrees.

Whether you’re a high-level athlete or an average Joe, having a good range of motion and improved flexibility can help prevent injuries, pain, and balance problems.

How can range of motion be improved?

Natural therapies such as chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, stretching and exercise can help improve joint function. The goal is to decrease pain, swelling, and stiffness while gently improving the range of motion and returning your body to its normal, healthy state.
