nerve flossing ness

things i’m learning in the 6+ months after 61.. all the health hacks ness

via google:

Nerve flossing (or neural gliding) treats nerves that have become trapped, compressed, or irritated by surrounding muscles or scar tissue. Because nerves do not stretch well, flossing acts like a thread through a needle. For example, when flossing the sciatic nerve, you might extend your leg (pulling the nerve down toward your foot) while simultaneously tilting your head back (slacking the nerve at the spine). This back-and-forth motion gently frees the nerve from tissue adhesions

compared to self snag ness via google:

Feature	Self-SNAG	Nerve Flossing (Neural Gliding)
Primary Target	Spinal facet joints and vertebrae.	Peripheral nerves (e.g., sciatic, median).
Mechanism	Applies sustained pressure using a tool to physically glide a joint back into alignment during movement.	Uses dynamic movements to pull a nerve from one end while slacking the other, sliding it through tissue.
Tools Used	A towel, strap, or belt wrapped around the neck or back.	None; relies entirely on coordinated body, arm, or leg movements.
Common Uses	Neck stiffness, cervicogenic headaches, and joint catch.	Sciatica, carpal tunnel, numbness, tingling, and pinched nerves.
