Nerve glide

Neurodynamics

Treating nerve as the moving, sliding tissue it is, restoring glide where it has been lost.

What it is

Nerves are not passive wires; they slide and stretch as you move. When a nerve loses that glide, or becomes sensitised where it passes through a tunnel or between muscle layers, it can produce pain, pins and needles or weakness some distance from the actual problem. Neurodynamic assessment tests that mobility directly, and treatment restores it with graded sliding and tensioning techniques rather than aggressive stretching.

What a session looks like

  1. 01Neurodynamic testing to identify which nerve is involved, and where it is restricted.
  2. 02Graded slider or tensioner techniques, dosed to how irritable the nerve is.
  3. 03Treatment of the interface: the muscle or joint the nerve passes through.
  4. 04A home glide routine, which matters more here than almost anywhere else.
