Overview
In this lesson, we introduce knee flexion PNF, a neuromuscular technique that uses contraction and relaxation cycles to increase knee bending range.
Objective
Understand how to apply PNF principles to knee flexion for immediate and sustainable range gains.
What You'll Get
What You'll Get: You'll practice contracting against resistance, then relaxing into deeper flexion, teaching your nervous system to let go of protective tension. For your own practice, this means better access to child's pose, squats, and seated postures. For professionals, it's one of the most reliable tools to help someone gain knee flexion quickly—especially when passive stretching alone isn't cutting it.
