Doing a lot of little mobility sessions goes a long way. Mobility work is not meant to be intense. The dose makes the medicine.
Last week I mentioned how banded clamshells are helping out with my sciatica. https://www.elitefts.com/coaching-logs/sciatica-pain/ I am only doing 1 set of 15, 3 times a day.
I have been taking that moderate approach with my mobility, soft tissue, and rehab work. Instead of creating one long session, I find breaking it up makes it very casual.
You can't bully your way through this work. It's not like resistance training. Getting close to failure is probably the last thing you want to do. Most injuries, soft tissue, and mobility issues take time.
After each meal at home, I have been doing the Defranco Agile Eight. If I walk into the basement where my pullup bar is, I'll do a little hanging for my shoulders. The same goes for the medicine ball I'll squeeze between my knees for my adductors.
I'm not tracking this work specifically. I'm stacking good habits of improving my soft tissue and movements. I seriously doubt there will ever be a time where my whole body feels amazing, but if it does I know at the very least I'll be doing my version of Defranco's Agile Eight on my soft foam roller multiple times a day.
Feeling good doesn't happen by chance especially when you've had multiple decades of hard training under your belt.
