Bill Holcomb - Improving Flexibility and Strength With Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

Improving Flexibility and Strength with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, by Coach Bill Holcomb, provides a detailed overview of the basic principles, concepts, and techniques involved in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).

In an easy-to-understand and apply manner, Coach Holcomb explains and shows how PNF can be effectively employed to develop both flexibility and strength.

Among the topics covered:

• Stretch reflex
• Autogenic and reciprocal inhibition
• Muscle action (concentric; eccentric; isometric)
• PNF stretching techniques
• PNF strengthening techniques
• Rhythmic initiation and stabilization
