A Dynamic Approach to Addressing Nerve-Related Conditions
Neurodynamic treatment targets the nerve-related issues associated with conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome. The Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness therapists in Normandy Park, WA will show you precise, targeted movements and stretches that gently guide the nerves through their natural pathways, helping to relieve discomfort and restore proper function.
Common Neurodynamic Treatment Techniques
- Nerve Gliding Exercises: These exercises involve gently moving nerves through their natural pathways without putting too much tension on them, with the goal of reducing irritation and improving mobility.
- Nerve Tensioning Techniques: These techniques involve positioning the body to increase tension on a nerve while maintaining controlled movement. This helps the nerve adapt to tension, reducing pain and improving range of motion.
- Flossing Techniques: These techniques focus on moving a nerve back and forth between two points, helping to “floss” the nerve through its surrounding tissues. This technique is beneficial for reducing adhesions that can restrict nerve movement.
- Positioning for Neural Mobilization: This technique involves placing you in specific positions that combine joint movements to mobilize nerves. This positioning helps release trapped nerves and alleviate pain by carefully guiding them through affected areas.
What To Expect During Your Appointments
We’ll begin by carefully evaluating your symptoms, including pain, tingling, or restricted movement. Next, we’ll test how your nerves move through your muscles and joints to identify areas of tension or compression.
Based on the assessment, your therapist will design a specific plan with exercises and techniques that address your needs. This plan may include a combination of nerve gliding, tensioning exercises, and manual therapy. We’ll adjust your treatments as your condition improves.
Our neurodynamic treatment programs use gentle and precise movements to guide the nerves through their natural pathways. These movements are often simple and are aimed at reducing nerve sensitivity and restoring function. You’ll also be encouraged to participate actively, both during sessions and with at-home exercises.
