Principles of neuro mobilization for treating musculoskeletal disease.

Abstract

Neuro mobilization is a method of conservative treatment of disorders of neural tissue. The rationale for using neuro mobilization in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions is based on in vivo and in vitro studies which point to a high efficacy of neuro mobilization procedures. Appropriate use of neuro mobilization procedures depends on excellent knowledge of normal and pathological anatomy, differences between individual etiological factors, development of disease and symptom variability. The present paper familiarizes the reader with evidence-based conservative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions by neuro mobilization.
