Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching

How to PNF Stretch
As the level of feel and experience varies between therapists the choice of stretching will be left up to you. Facilitated stretching is less likely to cause muscle fibre tears if the patient is moving the muscle into the next pain free zone themselves. If unsure of the stretch GET THE PATIENT TO MOVE THEMSELVES.

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.
