		<description>Justin,

Yes, I think it will help a lot, but joint mobility in and of itself usually is not enough to correct an imbalance of this nature. It can and should be an essential aspect of your program, but you may need to go deeper with focused myofascial work (e.g. yoga) to release the outer bag of your muscle tissue, and you might need to address some basic strength imbalances directly through strength training or similar methods. 

I wish I had the time to take a look at your mobility routine, but my schedule has gotten extremely tight the last several months and time is limited. Depending on your location, you may be able to find a CST professional in your area who can work with you directly. Some of them offer online training, too, where you can submit videos for review and coaching advice, etc.

Let me know if there&#039;s anything else I can do for you, and good luck!</description>

		<description>Hey John, I have been observing your site for a while, and I like your videos and see the tremendous progress you have made through the months.  I was wondering if I could send you a video of me doing the joint mobility program from head to toe and see if you could help with anything that I am doing wrong or need to improve on.  I have such an imbalance in my body (my left side is noticeably weaker than my right).  I can do pistols with my right leg, but not with my left, and I suspect that this imbalance is really hindering my training.  Do you think the joint mobility program will help me with my balance?  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thank you</description>

		<description>Hi Elsia,

Going beyond normal, healthy range of motion becomes problematic for joint integrity. It can be conditioned as we see with contortionists, but it isn&#039;t healthy. Once normal range of motion is attained in the most basic ranges, then further joint mobility training can be used to coordinate and refine that range of motion for the purposes of movement sophistication. 

So, the goal for someone with inadequate ROM is to get more movement potential out of a given exercise. And conversely, the goal for someone with healthy, full ROM is to move better through those ranges of motion. This is why the Intu-Flow Joint Mobility program uses 4 different levels of sophistication/difficulty. Each level builds off of the former.</description>

		<description>What are the possible ramifications of increasing ROM in joint where the mobility is already present, such as the gleno hume jnt and lumbar spine in hypermobility.</description>
