Voodoo floss for mobility
Voodoo floss can be a great tool to see short-term improvements in joint mobility and muscle flexibility [3].
This is how to use floss for mobility:
- Choose a limitation in mobility (for weightlifting or cross-fit, its mostly ankle dorsiflexion, hip rotation, or shoulder rotation)
- Go to the gym a few minutes early and try techniques recommended by experienced people.
- See if you observe any changes. It is important to know if it works specifically for you.
When your joint is wrapped (always at 50 percent tension and 50 percent overlap), move into the restricted range of motion about 20 times, or 60 seconds. No need to add 10 minutes on the warm up or floss your entire body.
