When most people think of flexibility they think of their ability to touch their toes, which probably comes from high school gym class because that was the test for flexibility, but flexibility is so much more than that, it’s your ability to reach behind you or to reach low enough to pick something up off the ground without hurting your back. Flexibility and mobility go hand in hand because you want to be able to move well and this goes beyond being able to touch your toes because you need to move all the parts off your body, your shoulders, ankles, hips, wrists and your neck. If you’re going to stay functional good mobility is required through all your joints not just your lower back.
