What is Mobility Training?

Mobility Training includes Diagnostics of where your range of motion and muscle control is limited.  Mobility training is excellent for rehabbing injuries for knees, backs, shoulders, ankles, etc.  We utilize targeted flexibility exercises and progressions to improve your range of motion.   We treat the body as an integrated unit, mobilize joints and muscle from the toes and ankles to the neck and grip.

If the joint or muscle is tight, we loosen it.  If the joint or area is too loose, we strengthen and stabilize it.
