Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): Patterns and Techniques

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a physical therapy approach that uses specific diagonal and spiral movement patterns to improve motor function and flexibility. The techniques combine passive stretching with isometric and concentric muscle contractions to enhance neuromuscular efficiency.
