Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) has received considerable attention recently, since it is thought to improve range of motion in the skeletal joints to a greater extent than conventional static stretching.
A typical PNF stretch might start with an athlete lying on his back, with one leg raised and held straight; a partner then attempts to push the raised leg up and back, thus stretching the hamstring. The traditional approach would be to push the leg back until a stretch is felt, hold it for a time (maybe 10 seconds) and then push it a bit further, thus increasing the range of motion. By contrast, for PNF stretch, instead of holding for a few seconds, the athlete tries to push his leg back to the ground in opposition to his partner's efforts. Once this contraction is relaxed, the partner finds he can push the athlete's leg through a greater range of motion.
