Description: CARs Tutorials (Joint-Specific Mobility)

Would you like more mobility, better body control and less pain with movement?

Of course you would!

Ok, but what are CARs...🚗?
 
CARs stands for Controlled Articular Rotations. In other words, CARs are intentional, pain-free joint circles done through a full range of motion.
 
CARs can be done at every major joint in the body - and in our intro video to this series we cover the benefits, initial procedure and things to watch out for. 

CARs are recommended daily as joints are rarely taken through their full ROM (even with traditional stretching or athletic movement). This is because many exercises involve multiple joints (think of a squat or couch stretch), not allowing full expression of mobility at the individual joint level. 
 
Because of this, it can be said that many mobility drills preferentially target muscle, while CARs target the joint and connective tissue. 
 
CARs are incredibly beneficial for: 
Mobility
Joint Health & Longevity
Proprioception + Coordination
End-range strength
Joint Pain
 
Yes, you can strengthen your ligaments, tendons and cartilage!

Connective tissue, such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage are not selected for in traditional training. While do get stronger and adapt along with everything else, most of the focus is typically on muscle tissue, the cardiovascular system and optimizing neurology.
 
It is interesting, as ligament (ACL), tendon (Achilles) and cartilage (meniscus, labrum) are where we suffer many of our career-altering injuries.
 
Because connective tissue is often under-trained and under-nourished, focusing on CARs is likely low-hanging fruit that can really enhance your performance and longevity as an athlete. 

We are only as strong as our weakest link! Do CARs daily for best results.
