Hey Mobies,

Today’s mission is all about reinforcing the idea that you NEED full range of motion in ALL of your joints. Period. Tight hips? You are going to pay an upstream toll. Here’s to better hip compression and easier psoasibility.

Timely seeing as I’ve just started cycling to Uni. If I’m feeling like I’m putting pressure on my internal organs (bladder, bowels) am I doing it wrong? I don’t feel like I’m hitting the muscles

OK basic anatomy question. Googling doesn’t solve this for me. Does your psoas pass in front of our behind your intestines, organs, etc. right next to your belly button?

Nick, behind your organs. Don’t do this on a full stomach or when you potentially have to urinate haha.

The MobilityWod Program

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Use at your own risk and stop if you think it's gonna hurt you, your spine is going to come out your throat, or your face goes numb. But, understand that you should be responsible for your own business. Don't wait until you need a new knee. Pony up.
