Neurodynamic mobilization (NM) otherwise called Nerve Flossing Technique (NFT) which used to treat various disorders of the nervous system concerning the length and mobility of peripheral nerves, as the nerve flossing refers to techniques that help to reestablish motion between a nerve and its surrounding soft tissues, thus to treat the nerves that have become entangled within the soft tissue, as it leads to tension release on a nerve by stretching and pulling one end of the nerve during keeping the other end in a relaxed state. There are two common Neurodynamic techniques, the first one is called a “slider technique” which is a flossing technique that done in a gradually controlled way, and the second one is the “tensioner technique” which could be a more vigorous technique that depends on ‘pulls from both ends’ of the nerve, the two techniques could be used as graduation so the NM application could start with the slider technique followed by the tensioner technique
