Adverse Neural Tension

Adverse Neural Tension is excessive nerve tightness or sticking, which can be caused by disc bulge, spine changes, or scar tissue (David S. Butler). Andrew pays particular attention to checking for and treatment of this condition. He has found it is also involved in many lower or upper limb conditions, such as hamstring strain (sciatic), or wrist pain (carpal tunnel syndrome).

Treatment often involves exercises which the patient can do independantly, on a regular basis, to mobilise and stretch the nerves involved.
