Glossary Term

Mobility

Mobility refers to the ability to move freely and easily and is a crucial aspect of physical function. Techniques like release, joint mobilization, stretching, and soft tissue mobilization can help increase mobility, which is typically measured as the range of motion at a joint. Hypermobility and hypomobility are also important concepts to understand in the context of mobility. Synonyms for mobility include movement, flexibility, and motility. Related glossary terms include range of motion, joint health, and physical therapy.
