Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS)
What is ACTIVE ISOLATED-STRETCHING (AIS)? Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS) is a flexibility system that involves working one muscle at a time. By actively contracting muscles opposite of the targeted muscle, Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS) automatically relaxes specific muscle in preparation of its stretch. Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS) is performed by gentle and quick stretches, and releases the muscle before it has a chance to protectively contract.
Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS) allows the body to become more efficient and enhances range of motion. In utilizing Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS), individuals are more balanced, less suceptible to injury and promotes overall wellbeing.
Developed by Aaron L. Mattes, Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS) is a broadly-used method of stretching utilized by doctors, therapists and even athletes so to improve the body's potential to not only heal itself, but to enhance performance as well.
