Mobility or Stability: Which One Matters More as You Age? | Training to Age Well

Have you heard that you need to improve your MOBILITY and STABILITY as you age? Which one matters more? What is the difference between mobility and stability?

In this video, Eileen demonstrates the essential differences between mobility and stability.

Mobility is the extent to which different parts of your body can move. Often, the focus is misplaced on your range of motion to assess your mobility. However, especially in order to age well, your measured range of motion matters less. Mobility matters most when it impairs daily function, in other words, it prevents you from doing things that you need to accomplish in your day-to-day. Mobility limitations in your ankles, shoulders, hips, and trunk can limit your mobility not just in these body parts but throughout the body.

Lack of mobility will also impact stability during the aging process. As your body moves (or mobilizes), any limitations in those movements will prevent your body from stabilizing properly. Stability and mobility thus go hand-in-hand. To age well, you need to train your body in authentic human movement to improve both mobility and stability.

GOTTA LOVE EILEEN KOPSAFTIS. Man, she has me looking at my work, in my field of fitness, from a whole different perspective and I am ever so grateful for her. I know what it's like to have bad p.t., and like Eileen said, no disrespect intended toward other practitioners, and to know the comprehensive, systemic approach to p.t. with Eileen Kopsaftis. Virtually, my personal work with her was far superior to that of any p.t. I have worked with, on-site, in the past, for both myself and from the work I see when my clients need a p.t. due to an accident or a fall, etc. Run toward Eileen Kopsaftis if you need a p.t. Thank you, Eileen, for another outstanding presentation!👌🙏🤝🙌👏💪💟🌹

15:52 - "You're just getting older, you know." (then Eileen's response to that) "That is a lie from the pit of hell!" Love it! Couldn't agree more.
