Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
What is PNF Stretching?
PNF Stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) is an advanced, guided stretching technique designed to safely increase flexibility, improve range of motion, and support muscular recovery.
At MICRO MVMT & HEALTH CO in Langley, BC, this technique is delivered with intention and care—combining clinical knowledge with assisted movement to help your body move more freely and efficiently.
This is not passive stretching—it is an active, supported method that helps retrain the nervous system and release deep muscular tension.
How PNF Stretching Works?
PNF Stretching involves a cycle of gentle contraction and relaxation of targeted muscles while being guided by your practitioner. This process allows muscles to safely extend beyond their usual range, improving both flexibility and functional movement.
Your session may include:
Assisted stretching techniques
Gentle resistance and contraction phases
Breath-guided movement
Mobility-focused positioning
Nervous system relaxation techniques
