Active Isolated Stretching

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS), an Athletic StretchingTechnique, is a method of muscle lengthening and fascial release that offers effective, dynamic facilitated stretching of major muscle groups. More importantly, AIS works to help the body re-educate soft tissue by providing functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes.

AIS can serve as a stand-alone session, or can easily be incorporated into a massage as well. Matt will guide you through dynamic and assistive stretches, to allow for increased flexibility, a wider range of motion, improved recovery, and reduced stiffness and soreness.  Active movement of the antagonist muscle by the client coupled with a 2-second stretch to the target muscle enhances lengthening of muscle tissue while not engaging the stretch reflex.

Clients who have received AIS commonly report:

• Increase in joint flexibility and restoration of full Range-of-Motion.
• Increase in muscle-tendon flexibility
• Increase in body awareness
• Decrease in pain surrounding a joint

NOTE: Clients should wear clothing made from stretchable fabrics, and/or “gym-type” clothes to the session. Those that do not will be offered a massage therapy session and/or asked to rebook.
