Active Isolated Stretching

I recently attended a workshop to learn some new techniques. I have wanted to incorporate stretching more in my sessions because it is so beneficial, both, as an aid to healing and for preventative maintenance. After attending this workshop and achieving truly amazing results with my colleagues and personally, I have been striving to incorporate it as much as I can in my work. Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) allows the body to repair itself and also to prepare for daily activity. Stretches are performed in a way that isolates each individual muscle, allowing it to reach its full potential. The participant actively performs the stretch while the therapist assists to maintain proper positioning and to maximize the stretch. AIS is not painful, it works with where the client is at and improvement can be made rather quickly. The stretch is held for no more than two seconds which works with the natural physiological functioning of the muscles to improve circulation and increase the elasticity of muscle joints and fascia, making it more effective. The participant should, whenever possible, exhale on the stretch and inhale on the return. This maximizes oxygenation of the muscle tissue. You will feel invigorated, more flexible and stand taller by the end of the session. AIS can target problem areas that are too deep to reach with massage alone to bring about greater improvement.

AIS is performed fully clothed in comfortable work out wear. Whether you are an athlete looking to improve your performance, suffering from chronic pain or an injury or just curious about this kind of stretching, AIS can help make you feel better.
