Overview
In this lesson, we introduce PNF techniques for spine flexion.
Objective
Gain understanding of how contract-relax methods can rapidly improve spinal flexion range.

What You'll Get: You'll learn to use brief muscular contractions followed by relaxation to gain more forward flexion quickly. This method works especially well when passive stretching hasn't been enough. For professionals, PNF offers a time-efficient way to help clients make noticeable progress in a single session, and it's particularly useful for people who feel stuck in their range or who need a more active approach to mobility work.
