1-on-1 Assisted Stretching

 Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching is an advanced technique that combines gentle muscle contractions with assisted stretching to enhance flexibility, mobility, and neuromuscular control. By engaging both the muscular and nervous systems, PNF helps retrain the body to move with greater efficiency and less pain. 

For athletes, it improves range of motion, power, coordination, and recovery while reducing injury risk. For those recovering from injuries, it restores functional movement, decreases scar tissue restriction, and helps correct compensations that lead to chronic pain. 

Older adults benefit through improved mobility, balance, and circulation, while clients with arthritis or joint replacements experience reduced stiffness, safer joint movement, and enhanced muscle support for longevity and comfort. Across all populations, PNF stretching promotes flexibility, stability, body awareness, and freedom of movement—helping every client move, feel, and perform at their best. 

 After a PNF stretching session, clients can expect to feel looser, lighter, and more mobile, often noticing an immediate increase in flexibility and freedom of movement. Because PNF targets both the muscles and nervous system, it’s common to experience mild Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) within 24–48 hours after the session—similar to the soreness felt after a strength workout. This is a normal response as the body adapts to new ranges of motion and improved neuromuscular activation. 

Clients are encouraged to hydrate thoroughly after their stretch to help flush out metabolic byproducts, support muscle recovery, and maintain tissue elasticity. Gentle movement, light walking, and mindful breathing can also enhance circulation and reduce post-session stiffness. Over time, consistent PNF stretching leads to lasting improvements in flexibility, posture, and overall movement quality, helping clients move more efficiently and with less discomfort in daily life or athletic performance.
