PNF Therapy

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) therapy is a form of advanced flexibility training that involves both stretching and contracting of the muscles. Originally developed as a method of rehabilitation, it is now widely used to improve athletic performance and flexibility.

What Do They Help With?

  • Improving Flexibility: Enhances the range of motion in joints and muscles.
  • Increasing Strength: Strengthens muscles through isometric contractions.
  • Enhancing Coordination: Improves neuromuscular coordination and motor control.
  • Reducing Pain: Alleviates muscle and joint pain.
  • Rehabilitating Injuries: Assists in the recovery of musculoskeletal injuries.
  • Preventing Injuries: Reduces the risk of injury by promoting muscle balance and flexibility.

How Do They Work?

  • PNF therapy combines passive stretching and isometric contractions in focussed repeated cycles

  • Athletes: Individuals looking to improve performance, flexibility, and reduce injury risk.
  • Rehabilitation Patients: Those recovering from musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, and surgeries.
  • Chronic Pain Sufferers: People dealing with chronic pain conditions like lower back pain or shoulder pain.
