Optimal Movement | 2 of 3
In the fitness and rehabilitation world, a long-standing debate has existed over what should come first in training and therapy: mobility or stability. While both are crucial for optimal movement and injury prevention, I propose that neither should be the initial focus. Instead, alignment should be the foundation upon which mobility and stability are built. Without proper alignment, efforts to improve mobility or stability can lead to joint torquing or compensatory patterns that may cause more harm than good.
