Range of Motion

 Your body is made up of a series of bones, muscles, and joints. The joints are bone junctions. The purpose of the joints is to provide motion within your body and support or bear weight. Joints are surrounded by muscles, tendons, ligaments, and a joint capsule that provide stability to the joint. The muscles that cross a joint create movement of the bones on either side.
