In this episode of The Stretch Mobility Coaching Podcast, I’m diving into a topic most of us don’t even think about—movement readiness. Every day we expect our bodies to perform, but how often do we stop and ask if our joints, muscles, and nervous system are actually ready to move?
I share my own experiences of noticing subtle shifts in my body now that I’m in my fifties, and why listening to those signals matters. I also walk you through what movement readiness really means, how it impacts everything from walking to playing with your grandkids, and how our MAPP testing at Stretch Mobility Coach can identify unhealthy flexibility before it turns into stiffness, pain, or even long-term breakdown.
You’ll learn simple ways to check in with your body, why brushing your teeth and resetting your movement readiness should be thought of the same way, and how small changes can help you stay active, strong, and ready to do the things you love every single day.
If you’re starting to feel a little stiff or “off,” this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how to keep your body in a movement-ready state and why it might be time to unlock your flexibility with a Stretch Mobility Coach.
