FAQs

PNF (Assisted Stretching)  grew out of the work ofDr. Herman Kabat, and 2 physical therapists, Margaret Knott and Dorothy Voss, who were working with polio patients with paralysis.  The 2 PTs realized this work was valuable in other areas and began teaching 2 week traiing programs in PNF in the 1950's.  Their work gained  popularity  and spread to athletic trainers and sports massage programs.

~ A target muscle is isometrically contracted with the help of a therapist and then stretched to a new Range of Motion.
