Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, or PNF for short, is yet another type of stretching! This type of stretching utilizes the proprioceptors (nerves) located in your muscles and joints to help relax the muscle of interest in order to try to achieve a deeper stretch. To practice PNF, first you have to contract the muscle you are looking to stretch and hold for approximately 6 seconds, followed by stretching the same muscle and holding the stretch for between 15-30 sec...onds. By following this contract-relax sequence, you may notice you are able to achieve a deeper stretch. Try this PNF stretch below, but keep in mind: - Avoid pain and stretch to a position of mild discomfort. - Breathe throughout the stretch. - Take your time.

Dynamic stretching is another stretching modality and is great for achieving a functional range of motion! Gradual and precise movement through the fullest expression of your mobility constitutes dynamic stretching. This type of stretching can often be incorporated into the movements you are already familiar with in your sport/ exercise routine (ex. a lunge or alternating cat/cow positions from your yoga class). Try this dynamic stretch below, but keep in mind: - Avoid pa...in and stretch to a position of mild discomfort. - Breathe throughout the stretch. - Focus on maintaining proper balance. - Take your time.

Fear and guilt are your only enemies. If you let go of fear, fear lets go of you. If you release guilt, guilt will release you. How do you do that? Be deciding to. Neale Donald Walsch .
