Neural mobilization (NM) is a technique used to enhance the mobility of peripheral nerves relative to surrounding tissues, aiming to reduce physiological tension and improve movement quality. While its effects are well-documented in clinical populations, recent studies have explored its use in healthy individuals to improve flexibility, balance, and functional performance. Evidence supports its positive impact on hamstring flexibility; however, findings on balance and performance remain inconclusive. This study aims to examine the effects of lower extremity NM techniques on balance, flexibility, and functional performance in healthy individuals, addressing current gaps in the literature.
