PNF Stretching

---

With consistent PNF stretching, range of motion can be significantly increased. By increasing ROM, the tasks of life become easier, with less pain and discomfort. Increased ROM also reduces the risk of injury such as strains and sprains. Increased ROM can also improve sports performance and the enjoyment of activities.

Flexibility by definition is “the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through an unrestricted, pain free range of motion.” PNF increases a muscle's ability to fluently move without discomfort. When muscle tissue is healthy, it can perform at optimal levels of strength and with greater speed with lower risk of injury.

Studies have shown PNF can increase the strength of your muscles. One study showed a boost in vertical leap, and throwing distance.

As mentioned before. With increased ROM and overall increased flexibility there will, inevitably, be an improvement in quality of life. You will simply feel better. People say they feel lighter after a PNF session. We don’t realize how much tension we carry in our bodies.
