PNF Chest Stretch
Exercise Overview
This is a peripheral neuromuscular facilitation technique that is used to stretch the pectoralis minor and major muscles. In a doorway or squat rack place your upper arm along the frame and step forward with the opposite leg. Do this to pull the body forwards to feel a stretch in the chest. Hold the stretch for 5-7 seconds then push your arm into the wall without moving your body. Hold this contraction for 5-7 seconds and then relax into a deeper stretch.
