Hello, when we talk about flexibility of a joint, does it mean flexible ligaments or flexible muscles? Is it possible or advisable to increase the length of ligament to achieve more flexibility?

Flexible joint means overall flexibility of all structures that a joint comprises, one can not simply increase length of any single structure surrounding a joint at once... Stretching a muscles surrounding a particular joint will increase mobility and flexibility at that joint...
