Today's video covers peripheral neuropathy exercises and leg weakness. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, often leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, and weakness in the legs. This happens when the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for sensation and movement, become damaged due to diabetes, injury, infections, or other underlying health conditions. In the legs, neuropathy can make it difficult to walk, affect balance, and even lead to muscle weakness over time. Many people describe the sensation as "walking on pins and needles" or having a constant burning discomfort that worsens at night.

Managing peripheral neuropathy involves addressing the underlying cause while focusing on movement, nerve gliding exercises, and strength training to maintain function. Keeping blood sugar levels in check (for those with diabetes), improving circulation, and using techniques like myofascial release or nerve mobilization can help reduce symptoms. If you're dealing with nerve pain in your legs, staying active with a safe, progressive exercise plan can make a big difference. Let me know in the comments if you've experienced neuropathy and what strategies have helped you manage it!
