Limited Mobility
Limited range of motion is one of the most common problems in the body. If you cannot move properly, you will do damage to your joints. So that tightness you feel or the fact that you have never been able to touch your toes matters, a lot.
"Tight does not mean Stretch!"
The most common reasons a muscle or joint can feel "tight" is adhesion. Adhesion acts like glue in your muscles and stops them from stretching the way they are supposed to. Luckily, adhesion is the most reversible problem in the musculoskeletal system, but also the most under-diagnosed.
Dr. Andrew Wengert is the only doctor in the Sarasota/Manatee County area, with the training and certifications to correctly diagnose and treat adhesion.
Limited mobility can also be from a nerve entrapment, joint damage, or a muscle that is contracting to protect an injured area. Stretching can make each of these problems worse, so forget that stretch your co-worker showed you and get the expert care your body deserves.
