How it works

Range of motion is the one physiological dimension that does not have to decline with age if consistently practiced. — Train for Life: Movement, Mobility, and Building a Durable Body
The ability to lower to a cross-legged position and rise without using hands, knees, or forearms correlates with longevity as a proxy for hip mobility and movement problem-solving. — Train for Life: Movement, Mobility, and Building a Durable Body
Normal shoulder rotational range at 90-degree arm elevation spans approximately 160 degrees. — Train for Life: Movement, Mobility, and Building a Durable Body
Loss of shoulder internal rotation overloads the deltoid and biceps and increases risk of biceps and labral tears. — Train for Life: Movement, Mobility, and Building a Durable Body
Restricted range of motion is often invisible to the individual because the body compensates successfully. — Train for Life: Movement, Mobility, and Building a Durable Body
Cultures that routinely squat, kneel, and sit on the ground show near-zero rates of hip osteoarthritis and elderly fall risk. — Train for Life: Movement, Mobility, and Building a Durable Body
