Tracking beats guessing

Walking distance, sitting time and straight-leg raise height are three numbers that tell you more than how the day felt.

The straight-leg raise

How high the straight leg lifts before symptoms start is a simple weekly measure of nerve sensitivity. Track it.

Ten per cent is the line

A strength or hop difference of more than about ten per cent between legs is usually unfinished rehabilitation.

Each couplet: 60 s scored → the loading set → 10 s to move on. Done at 12:00.

How to run it

  1. Sliders first, tensioners later: one end of the nerve slackens as the other tightens.
  2. A little tingling during a glide is expected. Numbness that lingers afterwards means too much.
  3. Train the spine to move and to hold still. Both are needed and both are here.
  4. Keep the pain rule: symptoms moving up the leg is progress, moving down is too much.
