A flexible shaft is used when there’s a need to transmit rotational motion in confined spaces, allow for angular misalignment, or navigate curved paths. It’s ideal for situations requiring flexibility, vibration dampening, and movement between components.

You can see the turning direction by looking on the outer layer of the shaft. Here you get the detailed description.

Yes you can turn a flexible shaft in both direction. But there will be one favorable direction which the shaft can transmit significant more torque.
