Read moreMobility refers to the ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion, and it’s pivotal for surfers for several reasons:
Good mobility allows for better balance on the board. Flexible ankles, knees, and hips help surfers adjust their stance quickly and maintain stability on the moving waves.
Limited mobility can lead to compensatory movements that may increase the risk of injury. By maintaining flexibility and strength in key areas, surfers can reduce the likelihood of strains and sprains.
Many surfing maneuvers require a full range of motion. For example, executing a powerful turn or carving the wave efficiently demands flexible and strong hips and shoulders.
A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research highlights the link between flexibility and athletic performance, including in sports like surfing. The research indicates that improved joint mobility can enhance overall performance and reduce the risk of injuries, making a strong case for incorporating mobility work into training regimens (Kraemer et al., 2017).
You don’t need a gym to work on your mobility—these exercises can be done right at home. Incorporate them into your routine to enhance your surfing performance:
Mobility is a cornerstone of effective surfing. By integrating these exercises into your regular routine, you can improve your performance, reduce the risk of injuries, and enjoy your time on the waves. Remember, the better your body moves, the better you can ride! Through personalized physiotherapy at PEAK, we can tailor a program for you and improve your balance and mobility!
