In this article, we articulate a distinct conceptual direction at the intersection of health and mobilities scholarship that centers on healthy mobilities. We take inspiration from relational, multiscalar, and more-than-human approaches to foreground an approach that asks what being in everyday healthy motion may entail and whose health is considered. We trace this approach through two brief provocations: exer cise and diff erential mobilities, including the fi nely tuned movement-repertoires developed by disabled people. Th ese illustrate the value of healthy mobilities, beyond humancentric, cure-oriented approaches to health, to understandings of how health takes shape among diverse living entities in motion. Th is focus can help foreground the interdependence of human, nonhuman, and planetary health in mobilities.
