Flexibility Highways in Motion (L)
Chuck Wolf

Joints and soft tissue inherently possess a mobility and stability quality. When a joint or soft tissue has had prolonged immobility, the proprioceptors become desensitized. Stretching a joint or soft tissue only captures mobility but not necessarily stability. In fact, if the soft tissues cannot control the increased range of motion, the client may be set up for increased risk of injury. Flexibility Highways has examined the 6 integrated chain relationships that are dependent upon the partnership of adjacent muscle groups to attain optimal function and performance. Flexibility Highways in Motion matches movement pattern progressions that enhance the proprioceptors of the soft tissue to maintain strength within each of the 6 Flexibility Highways and enrich movement performance.
