Moving the body is important for all of us, and it can help increase stamina, improve strength, mobility, balance, or flexibility.

If your body needs a little warming up for spring, you may want to practice some mobility exercises.

California VA physical therapy program combines exercises with instruction on the neuroscience of pain to help older Veterans increase mobility, reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life.

Mobility exercises can help maintain healthy joints and increase or maintain range-of-motion and flexibility which support our daily routine and athletic activities.

Joint mobility is how well a joint can move (like your hip joint). Mobility is an important component to staying healthy, but sometimes our mobility can be limited. An important consideration for any movement exercise is how we listen to our body. Reflecting and bringing awareness to your physical body before, during and after movement activities can help prevent adverse events or injury.
