A good book @ a good price I bought this book halfway through a diploma course on Sports Therapy. With an interesting intro on the history of PNF , and very clear pictures, I havn't found a better book on the subject yet. The section on Spiral Diagonal Patterns is fairly complex, but thats not a criticism. Overall a good reference source at a decent price.
Take your time with this one! A good book at a good price. . has a interesting intro on the history and development of PNF stretching. Not a cover to cover read but a nice source of reference with very clear pictures and diagrams.The section on Spiral Diagonal Patterns is complex but thats not a criticism! (a difficult subject to explain).I keep this one on my bookshelf and its nice to know its there.
PNF was a part of old Eastern European system. After much experimentation on thousands of world-class athletes, the Active Isolated Stretching methods that the Wharton's have popularized is more effective and less time confusing. In addition, it requires no one else. Someday, studies will show that static and passive stretching leave an active muscle group stale. Dynamic range of motion will be better understood.PNF will no longer be viable.
