Tingling, numbness, burning, or a shooting pain down your arm or leg can make everyday life miserable. If you’ve tried stretching or rest without lasting relief, your nerves may be getting stuck or irritated as they move through your body. If you’re looking for nerve flossing in Frisco, Prosper or West Frisco, TX, Therapy Fit Physical Therapy can guide you through gentle, targeted movements that help your nerves glide the way they should.
What Is Nerve Flossing?
Nerve flossing, also called nerve gliding or neural mobilization, is a set of gentle movements that help a nerve slide smoothly through the tissues around it. Nerves are designed to glide as you move. When they become irritated, compressed, or stuck after injury, surgery, or repetitive strain, they can become sensitive and cause symptoms. Flossing movements move the nerve back and forth without stretching it aggressively, helping restore its mobility.
Symptoms Nerve Flossing May Help
- Tingling, “pins and needles,” or numbness
- Burning or shooting pain into the arm, hand, leg, or foot
- Pain that changes with certain positions or movements
- A feeling of tightness or pulling that stretching doesn’t fix
- Stiffness after injury or surgery
Common Conditions We Treat
- Sciatica and low back pain with leg symptoms
- Carpal tunnel symptoms in the wrist and hand
- Cubital tunnel irritation at the elbow
- Pinched nerves in the neck or shoulder
- Nerve irritation in the foot and ankle
- Nerve tension following surgery
Your therapist will confirm whether nerve flossing is appropriate for you after a thorough evaluation.
How Your Treatment Works
- Find the source. We assess where the nerve is getting stuck or irritated, which isn’t always where you feel the symptoms.
- Hands-on care. We often pair nerve flossing with Manual Therapy, Myofascial Release, or Soft Tissue Mobilization to improve movement of the surrounding tissue.
- Learn your glides. Your therapist teaches you the right technique, position, and amount of movement. Gentle is the goal, and more is not better.
- Practice at home. You receive a simple routine from our therapeutic exercise plan so progress continues between visits.
