What tissue determines the flexibility of a joint?
Nope. A joint is flexible if the muscles (with their attached tendons) are not spasmed, and if the ligaments are not too short. Stretching can frequently lead to increased flexibility (and mobility). This stretching tends to lengthen both the muscles and ligaments. On the other hand, if a joint is too hypermobile (unstable), exercise against resistance will tend to shorten these structures (first muscles, later ligaments), and can be very helpful...e.g., in the neck, which tends to be the most unstable part of the human spine. --Dr. Halle
