I have a degree in Physical Education/Kinesiology, and I am dumbfounded at how brilliantly you explained this. In my lifetime of being educated and speaking with knowledgeable persons, I have never heard anyone breathe a word of how to deal with tight, inelastic nerves. This would explain why I can effect gains in every muscle of my body except hamstrings! Thank you.

As I lay in bed I did this nerve stretch and INSTANTLY the pain subsided. I've been dealing w this pain for ab 2 years now. Ive done countless stretches, had numerous chiropractic visits, bought bands, foam rollers, chiropractic balls, and a massage gun. And it wasn't until today, in your short 3 min video, I found relief. Literally brought tears to my eyes when I realized I wasn't in excruciating pain! Can't thank you enough!!

I've always had a complex about my flexibility... so many stretches rely on the ability to touch one's toes. And yet, I love the feeling of a good stretch in every other muscle. It's only the straight-leg-stretches that set alarm bells of in my brain. I've always just found them painfully uncomfortable. I've tried so many times to search for an answer and not once have I learnt about the sciatic nerve. It makes so much sense. I injured my coccyx as a child and have always wondered if it's related. It's a relief to discover this secret and I'm hopeful it will make a difference. Thanks so much for the insight and gentle guidance 🌱💙

This is just the most brilliant thing I've ever heard. I did recreational rhythmic gymnastics for 8 years and never got my splits or anything. Any stretches that were supposed to help the hamstring made my calves burn intensely, and my coach said it was normal. She probably thought my hamstrings were tight, but now I understand why this was always impossible for me. I had an eureka moment watching this, I truly never thought I'd find out what my problem was. Now that I've restarted working out and stretching after leaving gymnastics almost 6 months ago, I've encountered the same problem. I will add this to my stretching routine to see if it works for me.

I was a ballerina for 9 years and they always pushed us against the walls to stretch harder. I never understood why no matter what I did, there was always this sensation that something was hard and inelastic in my body that demanded to stay in the same position. Those were my nerves! No wonder I couldn't get more flexible, I was basically forcing it to exhaustion. I am trying to be more flexible now and I always had a hard time with the back of my legs and glutes. After doing your exercise I felt so much lighter in my back, and I actually could put my feel in 90° without bending the knee. What a blessing. You are amazing!

Wow as someone whose legs are about as flexible as a concrete post I just tried this and it totally works! Same extra range increase as in the video, thanks so much for this information.

Tried it, as I really struggle with mobility, and INSTANTLY I could move my legs higher than before the glide. Mind blowing!

This is certainly a new path for me! I have been VERY into stretching for the past 12 years. This insight will hopefully take me to the next level

I've tried it and it doesn't add any range for me, while the normal static stretching does. I think this only might be relevant for people who are already quite flexible such that the nerves become a limiting factor

I encountered the same. I know my issues are due to sciatic issue based on a recent trip to the ER due to the pain of it and this didn’t do anything for me.

This goes both ways. It will not help you with your range if your muscles are not flexible enough so you will also most likely not know a difference. As for me, I did sports all my life and due to working on the computer a lot, sitting all day, plus some sports injuries, my sciatic nerves are really sensitive atm. So in the beginning of a stretch session I am insanely tight and reach a certain pain threshold rather quickly, but the more I relax and mobilize certain spots my range increases immensely (to the point where only the muscels are the limit). Pushing through that threshold usually let me do a decent stretching without any further pain at first, but eventually worsening the pain once I cooled down. This might just not be it for you, but it definitely is a topic for me 👍 I subscribed just now :)

I got a bad anterior pelvic tilt and it spasms every 2-3 months because I used to have bad form when it comes to doing exercises like squats, pushups, planks, and core exercises. I definitely felt a relief to the discomfort that's been lingering every once in a while. Thanks for this video Also, can you do a video about spasms?

Hi Keith: Do you do the nerve glides everyday & about how much time do you devote to the glides? (Forward bends are like torture to me.)

wow, always had some sciatic tightness and I was a little skeptical. Went from about 45deg (been sitting too much lately) to nearly 90 is about 40 seconds! Nice. About being gentle yes definitely. Was doing some physical therapy for a sciatica flare up and before I was properly diagnosed I was guided through some stretches that were too aggressive and really irritated the nerve. Probably the most painful thing I've ever been through. So be gentle!
