Overview
In this lesson, we present shoulder flexion proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), a technique for improving shoulder mobility and strength through active stretching and resistance.
Objective
Understand how PNF techniques work and how to apply them specifically to shoulder flexion to increase range of motion and control.
What You'll Get
You'll learn how to use active resistance and stretching to retrain the nervous system and unlock greater shoulder mobility. Watch video demonstrations that show you exactly how to perform shoulder flexion PNF safely and effectively. For personal practice, this is a powerful tool for addressing tight shoulders and improving overhead range. For teachers and movement professionals, PNF offers a research-backed method for helping students and clients make measurable progress in mobility—especially when traditional stretching hasn't worked.
