How many of us have the perfect posture, no aches and pains, unrestricted mobility ? How many of us do not suffer from back pain? Active Isolated Stretching® is the most innovative form of therapeutic stretching and has proven to be particularly effective for postural re-alignment. Muscles, in the body, work 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 founded Stretch Limited |
AIS is the safest form of therapeutic stretching as a stretch is never held for more than 2 seconds. |
