Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a treatment technique developed in the 1940's by Herman Kabat, MD, Phd with two physical therapists Margaret Knott and Dorothy Voss. Originally PNF was used as a treatment in the rehabilitation of Polio patients. Realising it was more than just a treatment for paralysis they began to teach it to Physical Therapists. PNF stretching is used in rehabilitation and sports therapy.

Canberra
Canberra is the political capital for federal politics as well as being the capital city of the Australian Capital Territory (see, even the state lets you know it's the capital). A very cool climate due to the altitude always carry a jacket and a brelly just in case. Canberra hosts major events including the Canberra Balloon Fiesta, Canberra District Wine Harvest Festival, Miss Australia and the Rally of Canberra. Situated between Victoria and New South Wales and around a 150 km's from the coast, Canberra is the perfect inland city destination.
