110 Do you really need more mobility?

from The Body Nerd Show · host Alexandra Ellis

If something hurts - should you stretch it? Or do mobility?  I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've seen someone ask for recommendations on the internet for an injury and 90% of the responses are "do this stretch!" or "try this foam roller thing"! Which isn't necessarily bad advice - but it's sort of missing the point, in my opinion.  The way I see it - we need to be asking better questions and figuring out the best next steps that make sense for your body, goals, and where you're starting from.  Maybe it's mobility. Maybe it's stretching. Maybe it's neither. 🤷‍♀️ On today's episode, you'll learn: The difference between stretching and mobility When to use mobility And how to figure out why you feel tight in the first place All the links: - Movement Mavens has the tools and strategy to support you on your path to enjoying life without pain - www.aewellness.com/mavens - www.aewellness.com/podcast - Show notes, links and more. - Join the free Body Nerds FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aewbodynerds/  - Come hang out with me on Instagram @hollaformala : https://instagram.com/hollaformala/  - Bodywork Starter Guide - learn the 6 places you need to roll right now for quick-relief, plus the reason why what you've tried so far has only given you a temporary fix.
