Circumduction movements, as they pertain to joints, are circular motions that involve all of the joint movement capabilities. The neat thing about these movements is that we do them naturally. They’re among the easiest movements we can perform, and they’re also very effective. Have a stiff neck? It’s natural to perform circumduction movements. Stiff wrists? Circumduction. Stiff, tender ankles? Circumduction again. You get the point.
Many joints are capable of a surprising amount of flexibility and movement, and they don’t like sitting still for long periods of time. Joints built to move enjoy moving frequently.
