PNF Stretching

Use proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching, leveraging neural circuits such as spindle and Golgi tendon organ mechanisms; can be done alone, with straps, machines, weights, or a partner. It can also be interleaved with static stretching by loading the antagonistic muscle group during rest periods.

PNF stands for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and it involves and leverages many of the mechanisms that I described to you earlier... Those protocols can be done both by oneself, with or without straps, with machines, with actual weights, or with training partners.
