  2. FLEXIBILITY THE RANGE OF MOTION POSSIBLE AROUND A JOINT ROM

  3. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ROM (Range Of Movement) is based upon our anatomy and the FUNCTION of each joint Each joint has a normal range of motion which maintains stability during movement

  4. TOO MUCH ROM in a joint can be just as harmful as TOO LITTLE ROM and result in • Joint instability • Dislocations • Injury THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS!!

  5. Physical limits to range of motion are determined by • Our skeleton • Joint type – e.g. hinge / ball & socket • Ligaments • Tendons • Muscles

  6. Having flexibility in your muscles allows for MORE MOVEMENT AROUND JOINTS you can achieve this with a basic SAFE stretching workout guided by a GOOD teacher

  7. Stretching after your dance class when your muscles are warm and supple is a great way to increase flexibility and keep your body protected from injury
