PNF Stretching

PNF stands for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It is a form of stretching that involves the use of a partner to help you stretch, alternating between contraction (static stretch) and relaxation (passive stretch) of agonist and antagonist muscles. An antagonist muscle opposes the action of another; an agonist muscle contracts while another relaxes. An example of agonist and antagonist muscles would be the quadriceps and hamstrings. PNF stretching is an advanced type of stretching that should only be performed by experienced individuals.

Benefits of PNF Stretching:

  • Increased Flexibility
  • Reduced risk of injury
  • Increased range of motion
  • Boosts muscle strength.
