Enhance Your Practice with Nerve Flossing Exercises
We all know tight muscles and we know we need to stretch, maybe we might even have some mobility exercises we regularly do. But do you add nerve flossing (nerve glides ) to your practice?
Did you know, that on top of tight muscles, you might also have tight nerves? Yes, our nerves can tighten up just like the muscles, but nerves do not respond very well to stretching. Instead they like to be flossed… you know, like flossing your teeth, also called nerve glides.
I thought I’d share a few nerve flosses for some of the main nerves: The often problematic Sciatic nerve, the Fermoral nerve in the hip and one for the Ulnar nerve in the shoulder and arm. (See below).
