PNF Stretching
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a more advanced form of flexibility training, which involves both the stretching and contracting of the muscle group being targeted. PNF stretching is one of the most effective forms of stretching for improving flexibility and increasing range of motion.
PNF stretching was originally developed as a form of rehabilitation, and for that purpose it is very effective. It is also excellent for targeting specific muscle groups and, in addition to increasing flexibility, it also improves muscular strength.
What are the Benefits of PNF Stretching?
- Rapid Flexibility Gains: PNF Stretching is known for its ability to produce quick and significant gains in flexibility.
- Improved Range of Motion: The resetting of muscle length can lead to improved joint range of motion.
- Increased strength: PNF stretching can help increase strength, as it involves contracting and relaxing the muscles, which can lead to greater muscle activation and recruitment.
- Enhanced Muscle Control: PNF Stretching enhances neuromuscular coordination, aiding in better muscle control and function.
- Increased blood flow: PNF stretching can increase blood flow to the muscles being stretched, which can help improve recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
