Range of Motion Exercises

Range of Motion (ROM) exercises are movements intended to improve or maintain flexibility and mobility in joints and muscles. These exercises involve moving a limb or joint through its full spectrum of motion, which can help reduce stiffness, enhance circulation, and improve overall physical function. ROM exercises can be active, where you perform the movements yourself, or passive, where someone assists you. They are often used in rehabilitation settings, for people recovering from injuries or surgeries, and for individuals with conditions that limit movement, promoting better joint health and preventing further complications.
