How Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitative Stretching Works

PNF Stretching combines passive stretching and muscle contraction to enhance flexibility. During a session, our chiropractor will guide you through cycles of stretching a muscle, contracting it against resistance, and then relaxing it. This sequence allows the muscle to lengthen safely, improve neuromuscular control, and promote optimal movement patterns.
