In this episode of Stretch Mobility Coaching, I dive into the science behind flexibility and why it’s one of the most important biomarkers for healthy movement. Using the hip joint as an example, I break down how healthy flexibility should look and feel, what happens when it’s lost, and why that matters for long-term joint health, muscle strength, and even disease prevention.
I’ll walk you through what’s really going on in the capsule, ligaments, muscles, and fascia when flexibility becomes unhealthy—and how that can lead to weakness, stiffness, joint instability, and even systemic issues like sarcopenia.
To bring this to life, I also share two real client stories from my studio. You’ll hear how small changes in hip mobility showed up in their lives, what we found during testing, and how a reset and muscle optimization helped them regain healthier movement.
If you’ve ever wondered why your hips feel “off,” why stiffness creeps in, or how flexibility ties directly to your long-term health, this episode will give you clarity and practical insight.
