Mobility VS Stretching; You need both for Pelvic Health.
First, let’s define.
Stretching involves lengthening a muscle where as mobility affects the joints. We need to stretch to bring space back to areas that are in a shortened state which can be from a long-held contraction (like a hypertonic pelvic floor) or due to things like posture imbalances.
Mobility addresses joint health. It deals with a joint’s ability to move freely and without restriction during it’s full range of motion. In order for us to have healthy functional movement, we need the flexibility to move our bodies with control and coordination which is what we get when we work on mobilizing our joints.
In our program, Restore Your Pelvic Floor, we will have a separate class for both! While many of my classes have both of these elements in them, it’s nice to separate the two ideas so we can better appreciate & understand the value of these postures during regular class time. For a lot of hypermobile students, it’s best to focus on mobility with less attention on end range stretching; another good reason to have a class for both!
