Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) was developed and pioneered by Aaron Mattes 35 years ago, and its efficacy is based on scientific observations and years of clinical experience.

     AIS is a dynamic flexibility system. With AIS you target specific muscles using active muscle conractions and hold the stretch for 2 seconds.  The pumping action of repeated stretches and reciprocal breathing circulate purifying oxygen and vital nutrients into the muscle tissue.  AIS re-educates the neuromuscular connections in the body to restore healthy joint mobility and release fascial restrictions
           
     I assist you with active isolated stretches and show you how to do them at home for best results.  Stretches are done with you fully clothed on the table or seated in a chair.  I also coach you in specific strengthening exercises to stabilize balance and posture. 

     AIS improves athletic performance and shows effectiveness in treating a range of physical disorders such as:

Low back pain
Headaches
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Tendinitis
Sciatica
Neck pain
Frozen shoulder
Arthritis
Thoracic outlet syndrome
Muscle strains
Plantar fasciitis
Parkinson's disease
