Mobility workshop: move smarter & pain free - an MPK event
Date: Monday 2 June 2025
Time: 16h30–19h00
Goal
Understand the basic biomechanics of the body, undergo a mobility test panel, and perform a mobility routine to address muscle imbalances.
After the course, each participant will be able to:
- Understand basic mobility concepts
- Know how to mobilize and strengthen 3 major joints of the body (upper back, shoulders and hips)
- Participate in a mobility routine for the whole body.
Who is this course for
No fitness experience required; this course is beginner-friendly. It's for individuals eager to improve how their body works and want to address muscle imbalances for pain-free movement.
While primarily aimed at reservists, space permitting, other individuals over 18 years old can also attend. The course is conducted in English, so participants must have a good command of spoken and written English. No translation is provided, and teaching is not translated into Finnish. Instruction is solely in English, and participants must understand both spoken and written language to engage.
Content
During the workshop, all participants will learn why mobility is important and what are the key concepts to understand when training mobility. They will undergo a panel of mobility tests to assess their current conditions and will experience a mobility routine tailored to those needs. This routine includes stretching, corrective exercises, active mobility movement, and myofascial release exercises. A segment will be dedicated to a full body mobility routine, and another one to micro treatments for those interested in manual therapy techniques.
