Brought to you by The Founder of The Mobiltiy Clinic What Makes a Stretch a Stretch? You’ve probably wondered how a stretch is connected to science, in this case biology. What really is a stretch, and what is it considered? What actually makes a stretch a stretch? When there's a stretch, there are two main types of classifications, active and passive. Active stretching forces you to not only get the stretch but also actively using other muscle groups to support t

As you read this title, you might’ve been that “slightly on edge” in confusion. Getting the right amount of vitamins gives a proper energy balance and functions the body, especially the brain. What’s best though is that vitamins are what makes YOU do the activities that are in enjoyment. Whether that is playing the piano to being a D1 athlete, vitamins are important for you everywhere. In the sense of The Mobility Clinic, analyzing this in a “mobility” way gives us a peculiar

A lot of times meditation is often connected towards the end of a yoga practice, stressful times, specific flexibility in contortion poses and finally my mobility sessions. How did this exactly come into play? Prominent history started as old as in the 1500 time period formally known as the Vedas. At first, yoga was mainly careful meditative breathing and there was almost no talk about posture. The word meditation itself comes from the Latin word meditatum which closely meant

You’ve probably clicked this because you were interested, wondered, curious, or any other word that would fit in greatly! The word “hypermobile” can be a slight misconception. In some definitions, you don’t even have to be able to do the splits or stretch to be considered a hypermobile. Being hypermobile can be a genetic no natural attribute that you have. You may be totally lost on this definition, and that is totally okay! Some examples could be licking your elbow, touching

Always full days? Too busy with activities or sports? Too many errands? This is what happens: When you work a lot for one day, usually time isn’t given for the relaxation of stretching. This is a mistake. I learned something. I’ve been playing the piano since a month after I turned 8 years old. I didn’t learn hand skills properly and for the next 6 years I carried hands that held tension, not relaxation with me. I had trouble with octave jumps. There was tension in my trills.

A lot of times, stretching can be viewed from different points of views. Here are some common myths and mistakes according to the book “Stretching to Stay Young" by Jessia Matthews: “Stretching only for contortionists/gymnasts” This is completely wrong! You don't need to be super flexible to stretch. In fact, those flexible people most likely started out really stiff (from ZERO) in the first place. “The reality is that stretching can improve anyone’s flexibility, posture, and

Today, I was looking at the book "Stretching to Stay Young” by Jessica Mathews. While reading the introduction, I noticed a paragraph in which she was neglecting stretching. I thought this quote from her might make you feel more inspired to add stretching to your workouts :) or even to your daily life, such as going to the store. This quote really indicates how this is an underestimated issue that needs to be fixed. “As a Physical Education major, group fitness instructor, an

Welcome again! Stretching as I thought before was…you know, stretching. Until a couple weeks ago, I had no idea that stretching had different kinds of meanings to it. Today, we’ll dive into what happens when a muscle is stretched ( go check out my previous article about stress curves if you haven’t to learn more about what happens when the muscle gets overused without proper warm-ups/cooldowns ). So, what exactly happens when a muscle is stretched? When you start stretching

Stretching for sports is very beneficial; it’ll make sure that muscle tears, sprains, and strains won’t happen (or have a lower probability of happening). As mentioned in my previous article, stress curves are 6% for tendons and 8% for ligaments. A stress curve is basically an overstretched joint. All the force of the joint is directly going in that one area. When it continues to do so, it creates a curve. When it continues to get pushed, it breaks! Now, it is completely norm
