PNF Stretching to the Calf Region - Gastrocnemius and Soleus

Dawn Morse of Core Elements Training demonstrates, treatment couch based, PNF stretching to the calf region including the gastrocnemius and soleus.
PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is an excellent way to lengthen muscle tissue, to reduce muscular tension and to help restore range of motion and tissue health, and can be used at any stage within a wider soft tissue treatment.
These are examples of the techniques covered in Core Elements accredited, Level 4 Sports Massage Diploma, which is available as a face to face, and bended learning course, at our training centre in Swindon, Wiltshire (UK).
Core Elements Training delivers a range of accredited Sports Massage and Sports Therapy based qualifications and short courses.

دهان الجلد لو كان زيت زيتون وزيت حبة البركة والنسبة تكون من ١الي ٣ ويكون دافي لكان افضل
وتعاملك مع الحاله ممتاز

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Nice recommendation for a warming medium, thank you.
The lotion that I use in this video is also nice as it’s hypoallergenic and doesn’t absorb too quickly 👍.

[@shaninedacay5436]

what type of PNF is this?

[@CoreElementsTraining]

Hi Shanine,
It’s stretch - contract - relax, then stretch again. Ideally when time permits hold the final stretch position for 15 seconds +
