In 1964, at the beginning of my PhD studies at Southern Illinois University, I was first introduced to the theory and practice of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). One specific application, reversal of antagonists, particularly intrigued me, and served as the focus of not only my dissertation, but also numerous research projects, presentations, and publications over the ensuing years, including the monograph Scientific Stretching for Sport (1973).
