Nerve Mobilization

When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body’s natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.”  – Nhat Hanh


What is nerve mobilization?

Like tree branches, nerves run through our body transmitting sensations to the brain and spinal cord. But too much tension or compression on them can lead to tingling, numbness, inflammation or a variety of conditions including carpal and tarsal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, arm and leg pain and more. Through the application of precise pressure, Dr. Yanai can locate and release the source of the problem, relieving symptoms and restoring harmony.

Dr. Yanai will first determine the length, elasticity and irritability of a patient’s nerves to determine the best course of action.

Everyone’s recovery process is different. Directions Physical Therapy & Acupuncture will work with you until you’re free of pain with a renewed sense of mobility and range of motion.
