Overview
In this lesson, we introduce PNF stretching for shoulder adduction, using muscle contractions to deepen your range as you draw your arm toward your midline.
Objective
Become familiar with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques that improve shoulder adduction mobility through active engagement.
What You'll Get
What You'll Get: You'll learn to use your own muscle contractions to unlock greater shoulder adduction range. PNF stretching works quickly, making it useful when you need to address tightness in the outer shoulder or improve your ability to pull your arm across your body. This has practical applications for anyone working on binds, pulling exercises, or movements that require crossing the arm past midline. Teachers and therapists will find PNF valuable for clients who respond better to active stretching methods or who need faster results than passive stretching alone provides.
