How Physiotherapy Helps You Find Your Range of Motion in South Yorkshire

Village Physio

Why did the physiotherapist bring a map to the session? To help their patient find their range of motion! 😂


It is a funny joke, but the reality is that range of motion (ROM) is key to movement, independence, and quality of life. If you are experiencing stiffness, discomfort, or difficulty moving, physiotherapy can help you regain mobility and flexibility, making everyday activities easier.

Why Is Range of Motion Important?

Range of motion refers to how far a joint can move in different directions. Whether it is bending your knee, rotating your shoulder, or turning your neck, having a good range of motion means you can move freely without pain or restriction.


When your range of motion is limited, you may struggle with:

  • Reaching overhead or behind your back

  • Bending to pick things up

  • Walking comfortably without stiffness

  • Performing daily tasks like dressing, cooking, or getting in and out of the car


Limited movement can be caused by injury, arthritis, post-surgery stiffness, or muscle imbalances—but the good news is that physiotherapy can help restore it!


How Physiotherapy Helps You Move Better

A physiotherapist will assess your mobility and design a treatment plan that includes:

Stretching Exercises – to gently improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Strength Training – to support your joints and improve stability.

Manual Therapy – hands-on techniques to release tension and improve movement.

Personalised Home Exercises – to continue progress between sessions.


The Benefits of Improving Your Range of Motion

With physiotherapy, you can:

✔️ Move more freely and with less pain
