Physical therapist Kelly Starrett on mobility as the foundation of physical function. His argument: most pain, injury, and performance limitations stem from poor movement quality, not strength deficits. Fix the movement patterns and the pain resolves.

Highlights

Mobility is the foundation of all physical function — strength without mobility creates injury
Starrett: most chronic pain (back, knee, shoulder) isn't caused by weakness but by movement restriction. Strengthen a restricted pattern and you amplify the dysfunction. Restore mobility first, then strengthen.
