Neural Mobilization
Neural Mobilization is a therapeutic technique used to improve the movement and function of nerves in the body. Just like muscles can become tight or restricted, nerves can also become "stuck" or restricted due to injury, inflammation, or muscle tension. This technique involves gentle stretching and movement exercises designed to help nerves glide more freely within their pathways, reducing pain and improving mobility. It is often used in physical therapy to alleviate discomfort and enhance overall function in conditions like sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome.
