Femoral Nerve Glide
- 1 - Lie on your side with the affected leg on top and your hips stacked. Keep your spine neutral and support your head comfortably.
- 2 - Gently bend the top knee, bringing your heel toward your glutes until you feel a mild stretch or tension in the front of the thigh.
- 3 - Slowly move the top thigh slightly backward into gentle hip extension while keeping your pelvis from rolling.
- 4 - To glide the nerve, ease the knee slightly straighter as you relax the hip, then bend the knee again as you return to the starting position.
- 5 - Move slowly and smoothly through a comfortable range; do not force the stretch or push into sharp pain, numbness, or tingling.
- 6 - Repeat for the desired number of controlled repetitions, keeping the tension mild throughout.
- 7 - Stop the exercise and consult a professional if symptoms increase or do not settle shortly after the movement.
