Are you experiencing poor posture, aches and pains, lack of flexibility and mobility ?
Do you have back pain, neck pain, tension in your shoulder??
Active Isolated Stretching can help you relieve your pains, straighten your posture and increase your flexibility, making your body more mobile and free of the aches and pains due to poor posture and normal wear and tear.
The body is like a vintage car. It cannot be replaced easily, it is costly to repair but when properly maintained, it lasts decades..
Proper maintenance means that the body needs regular check ups and care to run smoothly and stay in shape.
Active Isolated Stretching is the most innovative and safest form of therapeutic stretching and has proven to be particularly effective for postural re-alignment and increase flexibility.
Understanding how it works
Muscles, in the body, operate by pairs. Through reciprocal innervation of muscles that are actively contracted, the antagonist muscles are relaxed and therefore safely stretched so as to increase joint and muscle mobility.
Active Isolated Stretching was developed by Aaron Mattes, over the past 35 years and introduced to Hong Kong in 1997, by Chris Watts when he co-founded Stretch Limited
Benefits of Active Isolated Stretching
- Relieves pain: 80% of back pain is due to mechanical dysfunction and can be relieved through re-aligning the posture.
- Prevents injuries: Active Isolated Stretching increases flexibility, mobility and health of muscles, tendons and ligaments, reducing the risk of muscle strain and tear. Regular Active Isolated Stretching significantly helps prevent injuries.
- Promotes faster recovery: Active Isolated Stretching. improves oxygenation and nutrition of the myofacial structures promoting growth and repair.
