Overview
In this lesson, we explore PNF for hip external rotation.
Objective
Gain understanding of how to use contract-relax techniques to expand external rotation range and control.
What You'll Get
You'll apply a neurological approach that improves hip external rotation through alternating effort and release. This is practical for deepening pigeon, lotus, and squat depth in your own practice. If you work with clients, PNF gives you a tool for rapid mobility gains and better movement patterns, especially when passive stretching alone doesn't deliver results. It's fast and effective.
