dear colleagues,

It is a real pity that so most physiotherapists that have been "trained" to use PNF arm and leg patterns only.
THE most important patterns, in my opinion, are actually the trunk patterns.
A proper PNF course ( see IPNFA - from facilitation to participation - Introduction ) will teach you these skills.

I have used "parts of " PNF with children many times.... it can be great fun, if you know the techniques. Learn first, apply afterwards is my motto.
