Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)
A physical therapy procedure designed in the 1940s and 1950s
to rehabilitate patients with paralysis. It is also known as ASG ( Assisted
Swedish Gymnastics).
It is often a combination of passive stretching and isometrics contractions. In the 1980s, components of PNF began to be used by sport therapists on healthy athletes. The most common PNF leg or arm positions encourage flexibility and coordination throughout the limb's entire range of motion. PNF is used to supplement daily stretching and is employed to make quick gains in range of motion to help athletes improve performance. Good range of motion makes better biomechanics, reduces fatigue and helps prevent overuse injuries. PNF is practiced by physical therapists, massage therapists, athletic trainers and others body workers.
This therapeutic modality helps to reset the proprioceptors so the muscle memory changes and allows for a breater stretch and ROM ( range of montion) in the areas of concern.
