Complete mobility means addressing every major joint. The body works as a connected system. Restrictions in one area create compensations elsewhere. A comprehensive routine maintains function throughout. This 5-minute routine covers neck, shoulders, spine, hips, and ankles. Nine exercises flow naturally from top to bottom. The sequence addresses common restrictions while maintaining movement quality. Use this routine as your daily mobility practice. It works for morning activation, midday maintenance, or evening recovery. Five minutes daily produces better results than longer sporadic sessions.
