PNF stretching

PNF streching is typically performed to improve flexibility. It is done with a partner, or while using the aid of a chair.

Plus-

Ø  Increases flexibility

Ø  Stretches more than one muscle at once

Ø  It prevents knots in your muscles

Minus-

Ø  Sometimes hard to perform correctly

Ø  If performed incorrectly it can lead to muscle tears easily

Ø  This is not a stand-alone stretch, it has to be coupled with other stretches to make it effective

Interesting-

Ø  It is typically performed with a partner

Ø  It stretches many muscles at once

Ø  Not that many people have heard of it

Ø  It is usually done after a workout, not before
