Joint Mobility IS NOT Good for Everything (MOBILIZATION OVERDOSE)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

m not saying that it doesn-t play a part in a complete plan but it better be a specifically targeted part if it is going to be effective. People will have you believe that you should rush out and mobilize every joint that you have. That is not only bad advice but it is irresponsible. In this video, I show you how to start looking at your body a different way to gain a better understanding of how your joints are set up. When you see just how your kinetic chain operates you not only get a better idea of what joints are more likely to need mobilization but why others will benefit most from improving their stability. Once you see this, you will also gain a better understanding of how to determine the true source of an injury or pain. Most of us will look to the site of the pain to try and find what is wrong. This is often the worst place to look for the answer. Most of the time, the source of a joints pain is located either one joint above or below the site of discomfort or problems. In the case of the knee, it-s very seldom the knee itself that is to blame for the injury. A dysfunctional hip or ankle are far more likely to be the cause of a knee breakdown or injury. For instance, the knee is simply a hinge joint that goes along for the ride being determined by the position of the femur above and tibia below. Just like a train rides along on a track, the knee rides the track set up by these two leg bones. When the ankle is not mobile enough (or sometimes even too mobile) it positions the tibia in a way that makes it likely to throw the knee off it-s track or proper movement pattern. On the other hand, a hip that is too weak will not be able to control the adduction or internal rotation that is likely to happen to the femur which has major repercussions at the knee. The answer that many people would suggest is to do mobility drills for the ankle and hip (or worse, to simply rub the knee with ice or strengthen the quads! Instead, you need to have an understanding of how to identify if the hip actually needs stability and needs to be strengthened and if the ankle needs mobility drills to fix the pain. For a complete training program that helps you to build up your body without breaking it down, head to and get the complete ATHLEAN-X Training System. Train like an athlete and not only build lean athletic muscle but prevent injuries that are commonly seen by other training methods and programs

Hey Jeff great video as always, I do have a question that I have been trying to send you for the AX-Jeff but I cannot get it to send. Any ways my question is in regards to hip/knee/shin/ankle pain. My research has led me to believe that my pain is coming from my sciatic nerve. Is there anything that I can do to alleviate this pain? My hip hinge is always tight in the morning when I wake up and sometimes the pain is just in the hip but other times I feel it on the outside of my right knee when I walk and down my shin, then on rare occasions it travels all the way down to my ankle. Thus far it has not interfered with my training with the exception of hip bucks or especially hip buck marches. What is your recommendation? Thank you for your time Jeff, long time follower and A-X1, A-X2, UA, XERO alumni

Jeff, as a PT who is finding it extremely difficult to find reliable sources of information online and even in the library sometimes, I am extremely grateful for your videos. Despite being certified with 3 different certification providers, I don't feel knowledgeable enough to confidently help my clients with many of the issues they are dealing with. I just don't think the certifications such as NASM-CPT and similar are sufficient to make a good PT. They don't even touch on some of the things you mention in your videos and I just wanted to say thank you for being sort of a virtual mentor to many of us.

Hey Jeff, cheers for this!
I have a lot of hyper mobility in my body and this video has given me a lot of insight into how and what to train when it comes to stability.
Pretty much most of the advice I see, treats every joint problem as a lack of mobility and so the solution is to stretch the hell out of everything, so you can imagine how that would make the problem worse.
Do you have anymore advice, for strength training for hyper mobile bodies? Like I said, it's hard to find quality wisdom and so I'd appreciate any help you could provide.

Thanks for the video is very beneficial, I have a question though, I am just recovering from a tear of top ligaments of the shoulders, it has been almost 7 weeks now and I still have some pain and even more when I try to do some chest exercise even with light load, according to the orthopedist, I need to carry on exercising even with the pain, I am just curious to know your point of view as an athlete and physiotherapist as to confirm if I load up gradually, wouldn't risk tearing the ligaments again? thaks

Jeff love the videos man! I'm a P. T. tech of 9 years and have had a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. A stretch should go in opposite direction of the muscle's contraction. To my knowledge the piriformis assists in external rotation of the hip. Why the do we stretch it in the traditional -legs crossed- externally rotated position. I think it has something to do with where the hip is in the movement. If you could please help me understand. My patients would appreciate. So would I.

Hey Jeff! My girlfriend would like to lift weights with me, but all her joints are hypermobile. We wanted to research safe ways to go about this and cant find much. Do you have a video on this topic, can you point us to resources or make a vid if it doesnt exist.
I searched athlean x hyper mobility and got to this vid, but it seems this is focusing more on lack of mobility or normal range.
Thank you, this would be much appreciated.

Jeff, could you please talk about problems with uneven limbs? And I mean IN LENGTH. For instance, my right leg is a bit longer than my left, I didn't notice it before but as I progress in lifting, I can feel that it kinda makes me uncomfortable during my squat or leg press, etc. Is it a common thing and will it be a serious problem in training?

I have very little mobility in my ancles, it makes it hard for me to do full squats, I don't wanna injure my knees so if I reach my ancle's peak I usually just fall backwards. I work my calves alot so I think that might be the source of this issue. How do I work on the mobility, I've tried stretching but is there any other good methods?

Would love to see a whole series of exercises adjusted to Hypermobile individuals with a track record of knee and back injuries/surgeries. Basically a whole sub-playlist for ex-athletes turned patients. With Athlean X videos already available I fixed my-self more than the physios I attended over the years.

minus ligament laxity and hypermobility issues joint stability comes from correct muscle functionality which is developed through strength and. flexibility. I personally think it's very hard to separate things into mobile and stable without generating some mis interpretation of how we should train.
