 Active Isolated Stretching (A.I.S.) is a powerful therapeutic technique used to take people out of chronic or acute pain. This method of muscular release provides effective, dynamic and facilitated stretching of major muscle groups, but more importantly, it restores the function of both superficial and deep muscle fascia , and in so doing it promotes the optimal functioning and health of muscles, tendons, vertebrae, ligaments and joints. These gentle stretches invigorate the circulatory, respiratory and neuromuscular systems, and help to alleviate many of the symptoms of stress. A.I.S. is a manual technique that isolates muscles that are to be stretched by contracting the opposing muscles. By involving the active participation of the client, the nervous system becomes reanimated, awakening the strength and vigour of tight, sore and weak muscle groups. Some of the more common conditions that have been successfully treated with A.I.S. are:
Fascia is a three dimensional fibrous matrix that provides interconnections throughout all cells of the body. Fascia surrounds muscles, bones, and joints, which gives our body structural integrity and strength. Being continuous throughout the body, fascia encompasses the sensory organs of the nervous system, blood vessels and lymphatic channels. Fascia also serves as an extensive water storage system. Oxygenation of the cells and tissues are regulated by fascia. This fascial network facilitates the removal of our body's toxins. Distortion of our fascial matrix by trauma, aging, posture, hormonal or metabolic imbalances, injury and toxins disrupts the homeostasis of the body. These conditions left untreated promote inflammation, lymphatic congestion, peripheral vascular obstruction, hypertension, and a host of other dis-ease states.
