The International Proprioceptive Facilitation Association, IPNFA®, is very sad to inform you of the passing of our Honorary member Math Buck IPNFA® – Senior – Instructor from Holland.

Math was a long-standing member of the IPNFA® Executive Committee as Treasurer and as such helped build the IPNFA to what it is today.

He was a Senior Instructor who mentored as well as certified many Assistants / Instructors from all over the world.

Math was also co-author, with Dominiek Beckers and Sue Adler,
of several PNF books which helped thousands of therapists learn about PNF and its practical use

The IPNFA® will miss him greatly. We thank him for his untiring work for PNF as well as for the IPNFA®.  We will remember Math as a wonderful physical therapist and teacher as well as a great friend.

The IPNFA® members send our deepest condolences to Math’s family and friends. We wish you strength and peace during this time of grief.

If you did not have the chance to know him, you can see the Interview from 2024 on IPNFA® YouTube Channel.

Here you can find the summer edition of the newsletter prepared by the research committee.

This year, we had the honor of hosting the first PNF Level 4 course  in Peru. The course was led by the renowned IPNFA instructors: Fernanda Di Natal and Terry Grzybowski, who shared her extensive knowledge and expertise with the participants.

Attendees came from various Latin American countries, including Chile, Peru, and Mexico, creating a multicultural and enriching learning environment. All participants showed great enthusiasm and commitment, contributing to the course’s resounding success.

We are delighted to see the PNF community continue to grow and enhance their skills through these advanced courses. We look forward to future gatherings and sharing PNF knowledge with the Spanish-speaking world!
