The back should be stable but able to move as needed, while the hip should be mobile.

This episode discusses the limitations of standard movement screens and suggests that a more comprehensive approach is needed.Practical Exercises for Hip Function: Exercises like single-leg deadlifts, Turkish get-ups, and half-kneeling chops are recommended to maintain or restore hip function.

Both are essential, with mobility referring to the freedom of motion and stability to the control of that motion.Assessment Challenges: Measuring mobility is relatively straightforward with tools like goniometers. However, assessing stability is more complex and less consistent, especially when isolated to a single joint.Movement Consistency: A person’s movement capabilities can vary significantly based on posture and load. For example, someone might have good ankle mobility on the table but struggle with balance when standing.Underlying Issues: Pain and movement problems often prompt discussions about mobility and stability. However, these issues are frequently more about the underlying causes, such as tissue quality, tone, or compensatory patterns, rather than simple mobility or stability deficits.Approach to Improvement: Effective intervention often requires a combination of mobility and stability work, tailored to the individual's needs. We suggest using a mix of exercises and assessments to identify and address the root causes of movement limitations.Functional Movement Systems YouTube Facebook Instagram X (Twitter) Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter
