Saphenous nerve glide ('Neurodynamics' Saphenous nerve)

Saphenous nerve glide ('Neurodynamics' Saphenous nerve)

Stand up straight with your back to a wall.
Take a large step forward on your unaffected leg, and place the sole of your other foot against the wall with the foot turned out.
Keep your back leg straight, your body up tall and your hips facing forwards.
Bend the front, taking your weight forwards onto it.
This will increase the tension in the nerve.
Oscillate this movement by bending and straightening the front leg.
To increase the stretch, as you bend your knee, raise the arm on your affected side up and over, whilst simultaneously extending your head backwards.

Required equipment: Wall, No equipment
