Nerve pain differs from muscle pain and requires a different approach. Nerves need to slide and glide through surrounding tissues. When restricted, they become sensitized and painful. Gentle neural mobilization reduces tension without aggravating sensitive nerves. Aggressive stretching worsens nerve pain. The key is gentle, controlled movement that allows nerves to move freely.

JME 1 Look left and then right JME 6 Gently tuck your chin to your chest JME 3 Tilt your head left then right toward your shoulder Upper Limb Neural Gliding Arm nerves respond to controlled movement. JME 44 Starting with your hand at the side, bring your arm up, over your head, then back down to the side. JME 52 Hug one arm across your body for a gentle stretch. Spinal Mobility Spinal movement affects nerve root mobility. JME 91 Placing one foot on a slightly elevated surface (or even just in front of you on the floor), rotate your upper body in both direcions. JME 150 Sitting in your chair, rotate your upper body both left and right. Don't do this too fast - find what works for you. JME 154 Either sitting or standing at your desk, extend your upper body toward the direction behind you - either putting your arms above your head or keeping them at your side. Lower Limb Neural Pathways Sciatic and femoral nerve mobility. JME 113 Place one knee on your chair and move that knee both forward and back to feel a stretch in the front of your leg. JME 161 Sitting in your chair, raise one arm above your head and rotate your upper body in the other direction to feel a gentle stretch in your side body. Hip and Pelvis Pelvic mobility affects lower body nerve tension. JME 119 *Wall Required: Place both hands on a wall in front of you and slightly extend your hips forward. JME 121 Sitting in your chair, grab onto one leg and pull it toward your chest for a gentle stretch. Important Principles Never push into pain. Gentle oscillations work better than sustained holds. Stop if symptoms increase. Neural mobilization differs from stretching. Professional guidance helps identify specific nerve involvement.
