Range of motion measures the mobility of a specific joint or body part. Good flexibility and range of motion are important for general health, injury prevention and sports performance. A decreased range of motion can be caused by joint and neurological problems such as poor neuro-muscular activation (brain-body connection), degenerative arthritis, injury, joint misalignment and overall poor posture.

Movement is key to correctly functioning joints and muscles. Lack of movement leads to degeneration (arthritis).
