"PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) diagonals are a great way to combine multiple joint stretch and neuromuscular education in one activity, in order to help restore fluidity of motion."

"Chris, here, is demonstrating the PNF diagonal of the lower extremities."

"It's important for the therapist to remember to keep their body aligned in the plane of motion, and use short brief commands, such as these:

• Pull up...
• Turn...
• Come across...
• Push down...
• Point your toes...
• and Out."
