Patrice Morency, a Certified Athletic Trainer, presents an
introductory workshop on PNF stretching and its relation to athletics
and Sports Massage. PNF is an exercise system designed to
reeducate the neuromuscular response, thereby creating a reduction in
muscle spasm, an increase in ROM and flexibility, as well as developing
strength, endurance and coordination. Her hands-on demonstrations
review the principles of PNF as well as "tense-relax" and other
specific techniques. An excellent primer to help massage
practitioners understand the uses of PNF in working with a qualified
professional.
