Summary

This study tested whether adding gentle nerve gliding exercises (called neurodynamic mobilization) to standard physical therapy could help people with a herniated disc in their lower back. Forty adults with confirmed disc herniation and at least 6 weeks of low back pain took part. The goal was to see if these extra movements could reduce pain, improve range of motion, and help with daily function.
