Nerve glides post surgery S1 nerve

[Rob Wilson]

Does anyone know how to perform nerve glides for S1 nerve? I looked all over the internet for this. Thanks

Rob,

I am not sure about lumbar from a practical perspective. How did you hear about it? Is the idea to release tension on the nerve, thereby taking away the pain?

Here’s a chiropractic approach that explains “correcting dural tension," but it does not seem to be what you are looking for as it is targeting discogenic pain:

There's also another physical therapy called Gyrotonics. If you can find a physical therapist who is trained in gyrotonics there's a chance they could also help you.
