What is PNF stretching?

PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is a hands-on stretching method. Your practitioner moves a muscle into a stretch, you gently push against their resistance for a few seconds, then relax as they take the stretch a little further. Repeating this helps the muscle release, so you move further than you could on your own.

How does assisted stretching help prevent injuries?

Muscle tightness and imbalances are a common cause of injury. Assisted stretching improves flexibility and range of motion and works on those imbalances, so it helps prevent injuries before they happen, and it speeds recovery by relieving tension and improving how you move.

What is an assisted stretch session like?

Sessions last 30 minutes. You lie on a treatment table while your practitioner works through the areas you need most, and acoustic wave therapy can be added to the session.

Assisted Stretching (PNF): Questions and Answers

Is assisted stretching included in a membership?

Yes. Assisted stretch sessions are part of the Optimize, Elevate and Youth Athlete memberships.

Can I add acoustic wave therapy to my stretch?

Yes. Acoustic wave therapy loosens tight tissue so the stretch can go further, and it can be added to an assisted stretch session.

How do I get the best results from assisted stretching?

Hydrate before and after your session and warm up first. Stay consistent, combine stretching with strength training, follow up at home, and listen to your body.

Testimonials

  • “Really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to non-invasive pain management.”
    “Really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to non-invasive pain management.”

    The treatments are designed for your specific needs and are adjusted as improvements are made. When I started my sessions I could barely tolerate side to side motion or strength training of any kind. Now that the sessions have unlocked the fascia in multiple areas I’m regaining range of motion, lessening the nerve pain, and able to challenge myself to strength training with the Vasper and Oxygen Therapy. I came to HumanBlu upon the referrals of several trusted friends after going through surgery to alleviate pain I was experiencing daily. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to pain management in a non-invasive way. Within two weeks of sessions, I saw and felt improvements in energy levels, range of motion, balance issues, cognitive issues, and a reduction in pain. I have used the Pulse PEMF, Vasper, Oxygen Therapy, Infrared Sauna, and total Gut Restoration pre/pro biotic regime. My goal is to “energize to exercise” and get back to a healthy and active lifestyle which includes swimming, yoga, and strength training. The team at HumanBlu are assisting me in achieving those goals and I’m so thankful for their encouragement and support.

    “PEMF has absolutely helped with my anxiety/depression. I have done PEMF specifically on my head only once, but on the rest of my body an average of three times a week and that is benefiting me mentally! I am finding myself feeling much more energetic and not falling asleep mid day anymore. I have gotten off of medications and have just been doing PEMF because I have seen a tremendous, positive change in my mental health!”

    “After using PEMF on my back for an average of 3 days a week for 3 weeks, I am pain free! My back feels less inflamed, more fluid and moveable. Having had chronic back pain for 15 years, to the point where it was limiting my ability to do day to day things and sleep, I am overjoyed that I am able to not feel in pain 24/7”

    “PEMF has helped my knee pain tremendously. After using PEMF, they feel stronger, and less achey. Especially on cold days, they tend to get stiff, but with PEMF, there has been improvement. I am on my feet all day walking many miles for work, so it has been important for me to find a way to not have knee pain.”
