Active Isolated Stretching (A.I.S.) is a method of fascial release developed by Aaron L. Mattes, RKT, LTM.
By identifying specific muscles to be stretched and isolating those muscles using precise localised movements, Active Isolated Stretching:
- Improves oxygenation and nutrition of myofascial structures promoting growth and repair
- Stimulates the circulation and drainage of lymph, helping eliminate metabolic wastes
- Improves flexibility and health of muscles, tendons and ligaments
- Breaks down the friction and 'glueing' among fascial sheathes
- Separates fibrosis and breaks down adhesions that may result from trauma or inflammation
- Realigns collagen fibers
- Reduces muscle spasm
- Reduces the risk of muscle strain and tear
Garry Nimmo has been trained by Aaron L. Mattes, the creator of Active Isolated Stretching.
Aaron Mattes has developed this method of proper athletic stretching over the past 35 years, working with thousands of patients, doctors, and health professionals. Aaron Mattes has been improving people's lives, their health, and their ability to become more flexible.
