Understanding Tension vs. Compression in Flexibility Training | Anatomy Lab

Welcome back to the Anatomy Lab! Have you ever wondered why no matter how much you stretch, you hit a limit in your range of motion? Is it muscle tension, or is it your bone structure? In this follow-up to my last video on unlocking hip flexibility, we’re diving into the key concepts of tension and compression—and how they impact your flexibility.

In this video, I’ll break down what muscle tension and bone compression feel like and help you understand when you’re being limited by your muscles or your bones. By the end, you’ll be able to tell the difference and adjust your stretching or training routines accordingly.

We’ll also explore several exercises, like backbends, wall stretches, and hip flexion, to experiment with your body’s natural limits. Whether you're dealing with muscle tightness or bone restrictions, this video will help you move more safely and effectively in your practice.
