Summary

This study looked at two different nerve stretching methods—flossing and tensioning—to see how they affect the sciatic nerve and hamstring muscles. Twenty-one healthy, active adults took part, and researchers used a special ultrasound to measure tissue stiffness before and after stretching. The goal was to better understand how these techniques work, which could help improve rehabilitation and athletic performance.
