How Good Is My Joint Mobility?

Joint mobility means how well your body can move each joint smoothly and fully in all directions, without discomfort or limitations. It plays a vital role in everyday activities like walking, reaching, bending, or lifting—yet it's often overlooked until discomfort or injury occurs. Poor joint mobility can impact posture, limit athletic performance, and increase the risk of strains, sprains, or chronic pain. It can also lead to muscle imbalances, stiffness, and joint degeneration over time. Assessing your joint mobility regularly allows you to identify areas that are tight, weak, or lacking coordination. Whether you're an athlete, desk worker, or simply someone who wants to stay functional and pain-free, understanding your current mobility level is the first step toward long-term joint health. This simple self-assessment will help pinpoint specific joints or movement patterns that may need attention, so you can take informed steps to restore range, reduce tension, and move better.
