  • Neurodynamic Testing and Neural Mobilization
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Neurodynamic testing and neural mobilization has been shown to be effective in identifying neurodynamic restrictions and improving those restrictions, respectively. It has been reported that neurodynamic testing and neural mobilizations can be daunting to clinicians due to the complexity of patient and clinician positioning and difficulty of the patient to identify neural pain.
