Nerve mobilization can help reduce nerve-related pain. In this series, shows two sciatic nerve techniques: the straight leg raise and the slump.

The straight leg raise is often used for more acute symptoms (1–2 sets of 10–15 reps), while the slump is used as symptoms ease.

By guiding the nerve through specific movements, neural mobilization may help the nerve and its branches slide against adjacent tissues, boost blood flow, and reduce symptoms.

✅ The lat muscle release technique shown here can help lessen tension and tightness.

🔥 New Hip Mobility Exercise

👉 Remember - your body is a connected whole and is more than just the sum of its parts. Tight hips can contribute to aches and pains in other areas of the body. Targeting the hip complex with mobility work can help open up movement across the entire kinetic chain.

✅ Give this move a try!

Back pain can come from many sources—mobility limits, weak lumbar muscles, poor core coordination, SI joint issues, nerve irritation, etc. This exercise won’t fix everything, but if side flexion **away** from the painful side helps you, it may be useful. Lateral flexion stretches the obliques, QL, and erector spinae and can create gentle facet joint gapping that may ease symptoms (though it can worsen them for some). Hold the position for about a minute and practice to find the right stretch and opening of the lateral trunk.

🌀 Join us along with Eric Franklin on December 15th for this free PROtalks webinar!

Posture is not just about standing tall — it’s the foundation for how you move, breathe, think, and feel. It shapes mood, confidence, energy, and even how others see you. Yet few of us understand how posture really works.

In this Franklin Method® webinar, you’ll explore posture as a dynamic, living process through embodied anatomy, movement, and mental imagery. You will:
• Experience posture as effortless, aligned, and adaptable
• Release tension for greater ease and freedom
• Improve balance, coordination, and flexibility
• Discover how posture affects breathing, organ health, and emotions
• Learn practical imagery tools for daily life and exercise

Instead of being corrected from the outside, you’ll learn to transform posture from within — leaving the session energized, more upright, and deeply aware of why posture matters more than you think.

Patellar tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee) causes pain below the kneecap, often aggravated by squatting, jumping, or landing. It stems from tendon irritation due to repetitive loading. Symptoms include localized tenderness, stiffness after rest, and pain that worsens with jumping, sprinting, or heavy squats. Rehab centers on progressive loading using controlled ranges, isometrics, slow eccentrics, and eventually plyometrics. Mild discomfort is acceptable and full rest should be avoided.
