Joint Capsule Mobility
Joint capsule mobility uses controlled end-range work to improve joint space for deep squats and overhead positions. It complements muscle stretching with joint-specific drills.
Joint capsule mobility focuses on the fibrous sleeve around joints—using controlled distractions and end-range holds to improve access for squats, overhead reach, and hip hinges. Unlike muscle stretching alone, capsule work addresses joint volume and closing angles.
Progress slowly; pain at sharp joint lines needs clinician review.
Common questions
-
How is capsule mobility different from static stretching?
Capsule work targets joint volume and closing angles with holds and distractions; muscle stretches lengthen tissue across the belly. Both can coexist in a warm-up.
