What is PNF?

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a physiotherapy treatment method designed to specifically improve movement patterns.

By using specific movement patterns, resistance, and targeted stimuli, the interaction between nerves, muscles, and joints is optimised.

In a sports context, PNF helps to perform movements more precisely, stably, and efficiently and to prepare the body for higher loads in a controlled manner.
