PNF therapy is an advanced rehabilitation technique designed to enhance movement patterns and improve strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control. Developed in the mid-20th century, PNF focuses on facilitating natural, functional movement by engaging muscles and joints through specific patterns of stretching and contraction.
PNF uses principles like resistance, stretching, and coordinated movement to stimulate proprioceptors—sensory receptors that provide feedback about body position and movement. Techniques such as “hold-relax” and “contract-relax” are commonly applied to improve muscle flexibility and joint range of motion, making it a valuable approach for patients recovering from neurological or musculoskeletal conditions.
By integrating diagonal and rotational movement patterns, PNF therapy mimics real-life functional tasks, enhancing motor performance and muscle activation. It’s widely used by physiotherapists for conditions like stroke, spinal cord injuries, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
