What’s the Difference Between Mobility and Stretching?
- Mobility focuses on improving joint control while stretching focuses on muscle flexibility.
- Mobility involves dynamic movements through the range of motion while stretching is primarily static and holding a muscle in a lengthened position
- Mobility is usually performed in active motion while stretching typically involves holding positions for extended periods (15-60s)
- Mobility focuses on muscular activation for joint mobility while most stretches focus on muscle relaxation
