I learned this years ago by some Russian video on TH-cam but never knew what it was called. This video explains and demonstrates it extremely clear. Great job!
I heard from physical therapist that what you showed is one of the three PNF techniques but this is not contract-relax but hold relax. contract-relax would be if you trying contract antagonist in this example quadriceps
Thank you very much for this video. I am taking a course in personal training and this has helped with any confusion I have had about using this technique! You are a star!
this vid helped me understand PNF better than my massage teachers did (i mean they're great teachers but maybe i just don't get their way of explaining 😭). you broke it down wonderfully though! thanks!!
Hi dy dy, there are a myriad of techniques you can address Drop Foot Disorder with. I'd recommend checking out Myofascial Release (John Barnes, Til Luchau, Gild Hedley are great starting points) with specific attention to freeing the nerves of the lower leg (Erik Dalton is a great instructor to start research on this) and attention to activating the Tibialis Anterior muscle. Great luck!
Hey thanks for the video, very helpful! I noticed when I do this, my other leg comes off the bench once I reach a certain range, what does this mean? Ty!
This usually means that the hip flexor muscles on the opposing (non-active) side are either actively guarding to prevent injury to a different area, or that the myofascial network throughout the anterior pelvis is extremely bound up. Either way, I would definitely back off the intensity of the stretch until you feel relaxed and neutral, and then push the envelope only slightly. Basically, gently peel the wallpaper, don't rip it off! :)
Nice video! but I'm just so confused now. the PNF and the reciprocal inhibition. stretching the hamstrings, PNF and RI use opposite direction for the patient to resist. isn't these two theories competing each other? thank u!
PNF take advantage of the Golgi Tendon Organ. The GTO senses the tension from pushing against the therapist and is instructed to relax because it does not want the tendon to tear. So with that instruction to relax, once you do relax, the muscle is now going to give you more length because that muscle group is more relaxed actively flexing the hip flexors to contract the leg towards her head will give the hamstring a stretch with RI at work. The hamstring is getting stretched BECAUSE the hip flexors need length from the hamstring so they can accomplish their task of flexion PNF is a stretch from an external force + the GTO’s telling the muscles to calm down. RI is a stretch from and internal force because it needs the slack I hope that made sense
Great question, Karen. AGONIST muscle is situationally dependent. In this example, the hamstrings are always the agonist muscle because they are the tight ones we're trying to stretch. This stays true whether we use RI or PNF contract-relax to work that specific muscle group. In this example, hams are Agonist, and their counterpart, the quads, are the antagonist. The quadriceps will become the agonist muscle only if THEY are the tight ones you're trying to stretch, which would make the hamstrings their antagonist muscle. Hope this helps! Thanks for the question!

This is by far the best instruction on PNF stretching I've seen. Much more detailed than most. Thanks!
Actually this has nothing to do with PNF, it's PIR : post isometric relaxation. PNF is a rehab technique, not a strech ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Straightforward demo I can share with my massage clients! ❤️👍🏼
Finally someone on youtube who does PNF right!
best explanation better than my Physical Education book..
@TechCrypto thanks man exam went well...
Glad it helped, Abhay!
Thank you! finally a good and clear explanation. ✅
Splendid explanation! Kudos to you mate.
Glad it helped!
Very thoroughly explained. Thank you.
Awesome instructions 👍 I just doing my CES course and this part in the textbook wasn't understandable 😂😂 needed to see how this looks, thank you 😊
Finally, I understood it! Thanks a lot Toby! :)
Good job 👍🏻❤️
Thanks sir, nice content
this guy looks like he works at the apple store

That's the top of the rectangle, that's the bottom of the rectangle.
Great video! Do you have one with contract, relax, antagonist, contract? What's the difference?
Seems to be hold relax (isometric contraction) and not contract relax (concentric isotonic contraction) ?!
no, the two terms (hold relax and contract relax) refer to the same pnf techique. hold (i.e isometric) and contract (i.e. isometric contraction)

I want to know who to treat cva with frozen shoulder patient
Kolkata, India
She increased her stretch by 10°🤗
Only 10%? I've heard that you should push as hard as you can.
What can do for drop foot disorder?

Yeah but how can I do this by myself?

Pls share hindi video.i m interested massage therapist

Is there a solo version?
So the agonist muscles are the hamstrings correct? Do the agonist muscles become the quads when it’s a reciprocal?
Great question, Karen. AGONIST muscle is situationally dependent. In this example, the hamstrings are always the agonist muscle because they are the tight ones we're trying to stretch.
