shoulder mobility
Joint range freedom
Shoulder mobility is the range of motion available in the shoulder joint—how freely the arm can move in all directions.
Good shoulder mobility allows reaching overhead, behind the back, and across the body without restriction or pain.
The term appears frequently in fitness and physical therapy contexts: These stretches will improve your shoulder mobility.
Poor shoulder mobility can result from injury, sedentary habits, or aging.
