Mobility Matters

The Immobile Population

As a population, Americans are riddled with chronic pain and injury. This is caused by immobility and poor posture, because of the lack of flexibility. 

Why are we immobile?

• As Americans we are in a sitting culture. We sit when we eat, when we work, when we watch television, when we drive, we sit all the time.
• On top of that regular exercise is extremely scarce; inactivity is the leading cause of health problems in our society.
•  Stretching and the maintenance of mobility are overlooked.
  
• The general population is uneducated about health and wellness. There is a lack of knowledge about exercise and stretching, and the benefits that come from both.
