AIS is the safest form of therapeutic stretching as a stretch is never held for more than 2 seconds. Are you experiencing poor posture, aches and pains, lack of flexibility and mobility ?

Do you have back pain, neck pain, tension in your shoulder??

For what we see on a daily basis, most men over the age of 35 suffer from one or more of these. And this percentage most likely goes as high as 90% for men over 45 years of age..

Women tend to be more flexible but they too feel the effects of time and a sedentary life in their general flexibility and well being.

So if you are over 35, chances are, you do need to stretch.

Active Isolated Stretching, our core stretching modality, 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's 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.

What woud you do, if at the age of 20, you were told that you can have your dream car, but it would be the only one you can ever get, your entire life? It is up to you to decide whether you can take it around the world for 60 years or whether you can only go down the street with it, fearing that i won't bring you back.

Wouldn't you take take of it? Wouldn't you look at fixing it at the slightest sign of tear, before it gets worse? Before it's too late?

Well, this car is your body, my friend. You have been given one and it's the only one you will ever get. You decide how far it will carry you and how long it will help you live the life you want.

A flexible body, a body that is properly aligned, fully mobile and functional is a lot less prone to injuries. And injury, when you're 45 is not the same as when you're 15 or 20. The recovery time is a lot longer, the pain is greater and the body does not heal the same way at all.

how does it works?

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.

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 stretch therapy

  • Relieves pain: 80% of back pain is due to mechanical dysfunction and can be relieved through re-aligning the posture. Active stretching is particulary effective in realigning your posture, and relieving your pains.
  • Prevents injuries: Increasing your flexibility, mobility and the health of your muscles, tendons and ligaments, reduces the risk of muscle strain and tear. Regular Active Stretching significantly helps prevent injuries.
  • Promotes faster recovery: We believe in Active Isolated Stretching. because it improves oxygenation and nutrition of the myofacial structures promoting growth and repair. So when you are injured, you recover more quickly.
  • Increases blood circulation:  Active Isolated Stretching also stimulates circulation and lymph drainage, which helps eliminate waste.
  • Increases mobility and flexibility: Active Isolated Stretching allows you to intensify your training, protect you from pain, spasms and tension which will ultimately inhibit your movements.
  • re-aligns collagen fibers
