Shurling Allyson Moody, Stretch therapist and Pilates instructor What advanced technology/procedure are you using? PNF stretching (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is a stretch therapy method (invented by Kit Laughlin) offering a targeted approach to reorganizing patterns of muscle tension. Try this: turn your neck to look over your shoulder as far as you can. Pause there. It feels like the end of your range of movement. en, take a deep, relaxing breath. While exhaling, turn your neck a bit more. Almost all of us will discover we have the ability to move deeper into this neck rotation. Take yet another breath and move past this second stopping point to the third, final position. Simply by pausing, breathing and re-visiting the stretch, we can increase our range of motion. How oen does this need to be done? One in-depth study showed those who used this method only twice a week attained the greatest results.

Most people know that stretching is good for them, but few realize that their own patterns of tightness are creating their back and/or neck pain. For the inflexible, or for those tight from years of bad posture, creating change in the body can feel terribly uncomfortable. Muscles do not lengthen overnight, and the very stretches the body needs (in order to change) can be unpleasant. But by using contractions to inhibit the muscle being stretched, practitioners of this method can find release and increase their flexibility in a short time. h e a lt h y I N N O V A T I O N S
