The word mobility may make you think of how well a person can walk or run. When you hear a football announcer talk about a quarterback’s “mobility”, they are talking about how well that quarterback can escape the pocket and make plays with his feet. When a physical therapist talks about mobility, though, they are more likely talking about your ability to move your joints and use your muscles easily and comfortably – not your ability to scramble for a first down.
