What tipe of Stretching that uses neuromuscular reflexes to gain further stretching of the muscle is called?
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) Stretching. Once the muscle elongation is controlled and the danger of tearing is past, the muscle then relaxes. During this phase, the muscle is more relaxed and, thus, able to stretch further. This is the principle on which PNF stretching is based. In addition to stretching the muscle fibers, PNF also has the advantage of training the stretch receptors of the muscles to become accustomed to the muscle's greater length, allowing the muscle to elongate further without resistance.
