If the hip to bend forward and touch your toes with your fingertips, you have good flexibility, or range of motion of the hip joints. But can be bent easily with a minimum expenditure of energy and strength? The effort needed for a flexible package is as important as its range of motion possible.
Different factors limit the flexibility and ease of movement in different joints and muscles. In the elbow and knee, the bone structure provides a defined limit. In other joints, such as the ankle, hip and back, soft tissue, muscles and connective tissues, limiting the range of motion. (continue reading…)
