stretch therapy can rewire your nervous system
In today's fast-paced world, our bodies are constantly under stress and our nervous systems are always on heightened alert. From long hours at the desk to the relentless demands of modern life, it's easy to feel tension building up in our muscles and minds. But what if there was a way to unwind, relax, and rejuvenate without the need for strenuous exercise or complex yoga poses?
Introducing PNF Stretching: Your Path to Effortless Relaxation
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching is a powerful technique that was designed by a neurophysiologist in the 1950's to not only improve flexibility but also to calm your nervous system, increasing blood flow, reducing cortisol levels and inflammation.
“In today’s fast-paced world, our bodies are constantly under stress and our nervous systems are always on heightened alert. 1 in 6 of us report feeling anxious or stressed in any one week in the UK.”
The Beauty of Assisted PNF Stretching
The best part? You don't need to be a yoga guru or a fitness enthusiast to experience the benefits of PNF. Assisted PNF stretch therapy is a revolutionary approach that allows you to simply lie down and let a trained therapist do the work for you. This effortless technique is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels, including those with limited flexibility.
