Mobility: A Practical Guide to Enhancing Flexibility and Movement Quality through Myofascial Movements

This book explores how mindful, myofascial-based movement practices can profoundly enhance the quality and efficiency of everyday movement. It uniquely integrates myofascial anatomy with practical movement techniques, bridging the gap between scientific insight and hands-on application.

Johansson, an internationally recognized physiotherapist and trainer with over 20 years” experience, shows how to cultivate a deeper awareness of our body”s internal relationships to achieve sustainable movement health and longevity. Johansson emphasises a more holistic movement experience, where different parts of the body work together in harmony, creating a fluid-like motion that is both functional and beautiful to execute. This type of mobility helps improve flexibility, coordination, and body awareness.

This comprehensive guide will hugely benefit and empower physiotherapists, movement educators and practitioners, and anyone interested in learning how to move more efficiently, comfortably and sustainably through life.

Author Linus Johansson is a physiotherapist and trainer with over 20 years’ experience in his field. He runs his own physiotherapy practice, SOMA, and teaches worldwide. In addition to this, he has published six books on movement and is based in Sweden. “We do not consist of different pieces and parts, muscles do not exist and all that you do in your life is movement. To see oneself as a coherent and flowing entity and to appreciate its potential and its potential is the greatest thing a human being can do for their own body and well-being. ”

Linus Johansson is one of my favorite curators of ideas. In ‘Mobility’, Linus brings threads from evolutionary anatomy, from performance research and, importantly, from his own experience and puts them together in a coherent, accessible and usable package. As always, Linus presents a beautifully clean approach for manual and movement therapists. — James Earls, Author of Born to Walk and Functional Anatomy of Movement

Linus Johansson’s latest book comes from a place of exploration and desire to take the reader into a deeper and more profound understanding of mobility as the foundational characteristic of the human body. I appreciate that this book and its visuals invite reflection and encourage translating that into action. Enjoy this strong contribution to myofascial and mobility understanding. — Lauri Nemetz, author of The Myofascial System in Form and Movement
