📚Mobilization of the nervous system can often be a helpful strategy for reducing nerve-related pain. In this video series, I am demonstrating two techniques (straight leg raise and slump) for the sciatic nerve.

🔎Typically, the straight leg raise is used when symptoms are more acute (1-2 sets, 10-15 reps) and the slump is used when symptoms are becoming less severe.

🧠By moving in a specific pattern, neural mobilization is thought to help the nerve and its branches slide against adjacent tissues, increase blood flow and reduce symptoms.
