What Is Rhythmic Rotation

Rhythmic Rotation (RRo): Relaxation is achieved with slow, repeated rotation of a limb at a point where limitation is noticed. As muscles relax the limb is slowly and gently moved into the range. As a new tension is felt, RRo is repeated.

What is rhythmic stabilization PNF?

Rhythmic stabilization is a technique used to improve the dynamic stability of a joint (in this case, the shoulder). The cue to my client is to try to keep her shoulder as still as possible while I provide perturbations at different positions along her arm.

What is the principle of PNF?

A core principle of PNF is that after a muscle has contracted maximally it will then relax maximally. This principle can be used when using exercises to mobilise muscles which are in a shortened position.
