Neuromeningeal mobilization, also known as neurodynamic mobilization, is a technique or set of techniques that allows the assessment and treatment of disorders caused by damage or diseases affecting the nervous system.

In this way, it allows the release of traps and dysfunctions to relieve neuropathic pain, which also leads to muscle weakness and alterations in sensitivity.

Why is it performed?

  • Fibrosis
  • Compressive syndromes

  • Skin infections
  • Open wounds
  • Drug use
  • Continuous pain that does not improve

What does it consist of?

The technique of neuromeningeal mobilization or neurodynamics is a manual technique of mechanical stimulation of neural tissue.

It is performed by means of passive mobilizations, sliding and stretching of the nerves, aimed at mobilizing and stretching them with respect to all the tissues with which the nerve is related.

In this sense, for the treatment to be carried out successfully, it is important that the specialist in Physiotherapy knows perfectly the structure and functioning of the nervous system.
