Most people jump straight into lifting heavier weights, running further or attempting advanced exercises without first making sure their joints can move - and stabilise - properly.
In Episode 18 of The Move Better Podcast, I’m joined by Tom Morrison, creator of The Simplistic Mobility Method, to discuss what mobility training should actually involve and why repeatedly stretching or foam rolling the painful area often fails to solve the underlying problem.
We discuss:
• Why joint function should come before heavy loading • The difference between flexibility, mobility and stability • Why Tom stopped foam rolling completely • How hard-style planks teach proper bracing • Why pain may be caused by restrictions elsewhere in the body • How to intelligently work around recurring pain triggers • Why lunges can be more back-friendly than squats • The importance of balance, hip stability and muscle activation • How five minutes of morning mobility can change how you move • What to focus on now if you want to move well in your 70s and beyond • Tom’s simple rule: lengthen first, then strengthen
This conversation is packed with practical ideas to help you build stronger joints, move with more control and continue doing the things you enjoy for life.
