Lymph aid in reducing edema caused by injury, chronic inflammation, and post

PNF Stretching

PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation) is a specialized stretch that uses
a isometric contraction prior to the stretch
to achieve a further stretch than before.

During this routine I take the muscle to its
end range then resistance is applied then
the muscle is taken to its new range.  This
type of gentle stretching increases the
flexibility of the muscles so you get more
range of motion.  This type of stretch is good
for those with limited motion or painful.

In a contract-relax is preferred when range
of motion is good and pain free.  You hold
the stretch to its range of motion then
resistance is applied then you take the
muscle to a new range of motion.

Stretches should always be pain free and
moderate, you should always use good body
mechanics.

If you have tight muscles, recovering from
an injury or just would like to get that extra
range of motion try a PNF Stretching
routine.
