Femoral nerve flossing is a gentle mobility technique aimed at restoring normal movement of the femoral nerve through the hip and thigh. It’s used to reduce nerve-related pain, tingling, or sensitivity in the front of the thigh, often associated with lumbar spine issues or nerve irritation. This exercise helps improve comfort and function without aggravating symptoms, making it suitable for early-stage nerve recovery.
