    This document discusses the principles and techniques of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). PNF uses specific patterns of movement and contraction/relaxation techniques to improve mobility, strength, stability, skills and endurance. The main techniques described are contract-relax, hold-relax, rhythmic initiation, slow reversals, repeated contractions, timing for emphasis and rhythmic stabilization.

    PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION (PNF) a) Basic Neurophysiologic principles of PNF. b) Procedure, components, Diagonal pattern of movement used in PNF.

    c) Techniques of facilitation : Mobility: contract-relax, holdrelax, rhythmic initiation. Strengthening : Slow reversals,repeatedcontractions,timing for emphasis, rhythmic stabilization . Stability : alternating isometric ,rhytmic stabilization Skill: timing for emphasis, resisted progression. Endurance : slow reversals, agonist reversal
