“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”- Luke 2:16-20

The first step through the sludge of stretching and flexibility is to clearly understand the terminology involved. Often the definitions of flexibility and related terms are remarkably flexible. Unfortunately, the degree of flexibility of a term’s meaning is proportional to the term’s usefulness: The less precise the definition, the less useful the term. To avoid confusion, we’re going to clearly define a few terms for the purposes of this discussion.

Flexibility: The degree to which a muscle can be extended beyond its resting length, which will have a positive relationship with the range of motion of the associated joint(s).

Range of Motion: The degree to which the body can move about a given joint.

Stretching: The set of several methods of increasing flexibility.

Hypermobility: More often called Joint Hyper-mobility. Decreased joint integrity and excessive

possible joint movement as a result of congenitally defective connective tissue development.

Acquired Hyper-mobility: Non-congenital joint hyper-mobility arising from injury or joint abuse.

Minimal Flexibility: The minimal degree of flexibility required to properly achieve and maintain

specified positions and ranges of motion.

Optimal Flexibility: The degree of flexibility for a particular pursuit that allows the greatest performance

and provides the greatest injury protection possible.
