Our joints act like springs, providing elastic rebound and shock absorption. And to act as our shock absorbers, they need movement to keep functioning. However, if they do not get sufficient functioning or mobility, it might result in joint pain and an increased risk of injury.
Mobility is how easy it is to bend at your hips and knees to touch your toes
