Nerve mobility ≠ muscle stretching️ Unlike muscles, nerves aren’t contractile. They’re long, continuous structures designed to slide and glide-- not stretched and held.

Instead, use an on/off tension approach, like this example of a sciatic nerve glide done on the back. Notice how Dr. Magda moves in and out of ankle flex
