Why Test Flexibility?

Many people in our society both young and old suffer with problems resulting from poor flexibility.  the most common problems associated with poor flexibility are low back pain, chronic pain in joints, and restricted movement due to inflammation of joints or lack of muscle and tendon elasticity.  Early detection of limited flexibility permits development of effective preventative programs.  For this reason, most health screening and school fitness programs test trunk and other types of flexibility.
