Dr. Grayson Wickham is here to help us learn how to stretch better, fix pain, and improve flexibility & mobility with the Movement Vault app.

The topic of “mobility” is continually gaining more popularity, since having good or optimal joint mobility is key to preventing pain and injury, as well as improving performance in the gym, and in our daily activities. The fact is, most people are either not stretching or not using effective stretching techniques, and there is a lot of confusion around this topic due in part to false info and fitness “experts” echoing out-of-date knowledge.

In this show, you will learn why everyone needs to start an effective stretching routine to improve joint mobility, why your genetics are not the cause of lower back pain, and how improving your active joint mobility will change your life forever. Dr. Grayson also reveals the best time to stretch, talks about why joint replacement surgery should be almost non-existent, and shares his top 5 active stretches that everyone should be doing and some practical posture tips. 



TIMESTAMPS:

There’s a difference between muscle weakness and muscle tightness. [00:44]

If you stay in a hunched over position, like at the desk, for example, your body will adapt to that. [05:09]

Many static or passive stretches are not as effective as active stretching and muscle activation exercises. [08:59]

Active stretching is when we are stretching out a joint or a muscle, to its end range of motion, and then we're contracting those muscles actively while they're stretched out. [13:32]

It is said that when you are put under anesthesia for surgery, you become super flexible. [17:16]

Mobility is actually the flexibility of the muscle and mobility is more of the joint range of motion. [20:00]

Is there an important harmony between your muscle strength and flexibility and your tendon strength and flexibility? [22:34]

Grayson is a physical therapist and he says that 90% of the injuries that come into his clinic could have been avoided. [27:43]

For body maintenance we do things like brush our teeth regularly.  What do we do for maintenance on your joints? [31:29]

Humans are meant to move frequently during the day. [36:53]

People who get super strong and build muscles possibly reduce flexibility. [45:31]

When an athlete is dealing with nagging injuries, what are some solutions? [52:46]

Stress and sleep are things to look at when you're injured or out of shape. [57:30]

Movement Vault.com shows a better way to stretch, fix pain and injury. [01:00:09]

Most of your physical complaints like back pain or knee pain, are not something you have inherited. You need to move. [01:03:45]
