NERVE MOBILITY FOR LEG TIGHTNESS: do not miss this for tight hips or hamstrings! Save this one.
here are some ways to move the nerves. Do 2 sets of 15 seconds for each position. Move into a slight stretch. If you’re chasing an ache with a stretch…you may want to stop. Nerve symptoms can present like tingling, burning, or even dull, diffuse, deep achiness. “Sciatica” refers to SYMPTOMS correlated to the sciatic nerve, an assessment is always key in figuring out WHY this is flared. With lack of mobility, (i.e. hamstring strain, surgery, lifestyle), nerves don't undergo normal stress with movement & can cause symptoms like ⚡️muscle tension, dull aches, tightness that doesn't seem to resolve with stretching, and of course numbness or tingling. The SCIATIC nerve (L5-S3) is ~22 mm thick and weaves through a LOT of structures on the back of the leg (glutes, hamstrings, posterior kn

Numb and tingly foot or leg? 🚨 numbness and tingling that is new or worsening always warrants an evaluation. But if you’ve done that and are still having issues here are a couple ideas ⚡️ lumbar plexus and sacral plexus are made up of nerve roots L1-S5 and supply sensation and strength from like basically your pant-line down to your toes ⚡️ commonly irritated areas I see in my practice are the femoral n. and sciatic nerve which then splits to the peroneal (lower outside leg) ⚡️ things li...

Hip Rotation For Glute Activation
A muscles ability to contract and shorten depends on its ability to stretch and lengthen. The primary function of the glutes is to extend, externally rotate and abduct the hip joint. This means in order to fully lengthen the glute you need to be able to access internal rotation, adduction and flexion of the hip joint. This is genuine internal rotation. An inability to activate your glutes is not a muscle issues, it’s a joint position issue. - Credit: The.ancestral.athlete
