->  WC> What's a neural glide anyway and does it help you?

-> Only something to ask your neurologist next time you see them. It might have NO
-> pertinence to your situation.

With no funding forthcoming I haven't seen a doctor since 1995
except one clinic that refills my antidepressant.
What's the point?
Health's failing in other ways due to inactivity.

-> Because my hamstring seemed tight, I would try to stretch it like a muscle. The
-> stretch involves moving to tension, then trying to move further to tension,
-> ad-noseum. This had the net affect to cram my hip joint into the socket to the
-> point that I couldn't walk. With the neural glide, one pulls on the hamstring
-> until the nerve sings, then you back off. Then you pull the stretch until the
-> nerve sings again. The key I believe is not to pull the stretch until the
-> tension is reached. I can do that until the cows come home, but it is very
-> counter-productive as my nerve only sings in certain positions.

-> As your nerve is not immobilized, and the pain is originating in the back, I
-> wouldn't recommend it to you unless you get a MD's approval. PLEASE!!! Don't
-> try to do this yourself!

The ONLY spinal exercise I do is attempt to strengthen muscles
supporting the back to slightly compensate for the lack of spinal discs.
When I go grocery shopping I do them in a really hot bath
to buy me the time required to get through that.
