I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and Medical Massage Practitioner in my own practice since 1999.
I specialize in Active Isolated Stretching - a very simple, yet effective therapy for all ages that works in relieving all kinds of muscular pain. Muscular pain leads to many ailments and this therapy repairs and rejuvenates the muscle itself. My objective is to teach everyone how to do this themselves so they can care for their body at home. |
What is Active Isolated Stretching?
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is one of the methods of stretching most used by today's athletes, massage therapists, personal/athletic trainers, and professionals. But it is also the perfect type of stretching for the average person - any age, any fitness level!
AIS allows the body to repair itself and also to prepare for daily activity. The technique involves the method of holding each stretch for only two seconds. This method of stretching is also known to work with the body's natural physiological makeup to improve circulation and increase the elasticity of muscle joints and fascia.
As we age, our muscles become increasingly stiff and painful. AIS can make substantial improvements in muscle elasticity, adding renewed life and spring to tired out old muscles. It transports oxygen to sore muscles and quickly removes toxins from the muscles, so recovery is faster. AIS works as a deep tissue massage technique because it activates muscle fibers during stretching.
