Take ownership of your body's needs and learn the best techniques to help you keep moving, recovering well, staying injury free, and most importantly, feeling great! Flexibility is so much more than simply stretching. You can restore full range of motion to muscles and joints with banded movement mobilizations that aid in resetting the body into more stable and efficient positions, decreasing muscle and joint pain, improving neuromuscular mechanics, and preparing the muscles and nervous system for upcoming training demands. Learn to restore freedom and ease of movement while promoting circulation and muscle relaxation, and decreasing muscle soreness and stiffness. In Release your Flexibility Potential, Laura Noyes, creator of Flexibility Script shares how to safely integrate banded movement mobilizations to your movement practice with detailed instructions for performing banded movement mobilizations for the entire body. More than 175 pictures illustrate the movements to enhance your learning experience. The movements are organized by body part with easy-to-follow illustrated steps. The detailed benefits of each banded movement mobilization are provided to increase your flexibility, resolve movement restrictions, and correct imbalances in your body. The Joint Capsule is perhaps the least discussed and understood flexibility component that can ultimately affect healthy joint range of motion and tissue health. Although it might not receive much attention, the joint capsule is one of the most important components to resolving movement restrictions. Extra tension is needed to get a stretch through the sac of tissue that makes up the joint capsule. To effect change within the joint capsule, we need to create space within the joint. We accomplish this by creating a banded movement mobilization using a band that is generally used for assisted pull-ups, like Rubberbanditz Standard 41" Resistance Bands. Most stretching techniques focus on stretching isolated, individual musc
