big time struggling with PNF and inhibition ...thank you sir

Pretty please make more videos! Your approach is direct, relatable, and fun to listen to :)

I am struggling with which muscle is supposed to do the isometric hold. First semester PTA student studying hold relax/ hold relax agonist contraction...etc. You explain in a way that is easy to understand, thank you.

Awesome teacher! Easy to understand. Thank you!

Thank you for the content

Very useful videos in your channel. Where can I find more of those that you made?

Thank you!! I was wondering what PNF was. How often should one do PNF stretches on their own, please?

Great video

She looks like she has a lot of pain. I was a LMT for 10 years.. i can almost feel all the trigger points in that side he is working on

Thanks for the video. A few questions. Do you prefer to use on type of stretch over the over? Both? Or does it depends on the area or person? Seems to me like recriprocal antagonist inhibition increases ROM more short term but the protrioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretch might have more effect long term.

In my experience, I can safely say I prefer PNF, yet I use both. We see this often with hip extension/flexion, where the hamstrings are inhibited when the client fully extends the knee joint. I think the determining factor is the fascia, both agonist and antagonist bands. Realistically, you should be able to feel the fascial tension when guiding the client through PROM at the end feel of their comfortable movement. This slight resistance will give you an idea if you should use tug from the agonist side or the antagonist side. PNF is also great for clients who take well to direct interaction and direction from the therapist, and RI works well to confuse the more... how to put this kindly.... 'dedicated' brains, in terms of resisting the therapist's instruction or guarding through it.

Why did you stop making videos? I think you're a good speaker and very knowledgeable. I hope you start making some new videos about random PT subjects (student here, so these videos help alot!)

Hi. Do you ever come to Florida? I’d like to get some bodywork done.

What is the difference between MET and PNF?

@davemason5636

MET is PIR and RI being used in the same session, PNF is a technique. PIR and RI use only 20-30 % contraction. PNF uses max contraction

Is this technique recommended for vestibular migraine? Kind regards. C. James.

I love your demo. Do you do strain counter strain. Love your videos easy to I understand,better than the videos I hav to try and decode from my collage.

Fantastic video! But how do you decide which method to use?
