Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a scientific stretching method developed by Aaron L. Mattes. AIS utilizes precise movements to isolate a specific area to be stretched. Once in the proper position, the stretch is held for 1.6 to 2 seconds, released, and then repeated 8-10 times in a set. AIS is widely used by Doctors, therapists and athletes to increase the body's potential to heal and increase performance.
AIS can make substantial improvements in muscle elasticity, adding renewed life and spring to tired out old muscles. Deep muscle stretching has allowed even Olympic athletes to transform incredible strength into explosive power. AIS also can help prevent injury. It reduces the workload in most sports by removing tightness so you can swing your limbs more freely. 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.
