Stretch Therapy (ST) is a comprehensive system that includes stretching, fascia remodelling, strengthening, neural re-patterning, and relaxation. We can hep you ease tension and pain,help prevent injuries, increase your range of movement and adjust any imbalances.
Our stretch therapy (AIS technique) allows the body to repair itself and also to prepare for daily activity. The AIS technique involves the method of holding each stretch for only two seconds. This method of stretching is also known to work with the body’s natural physiological makeup to improve circulation and increase the elasticity of muscle joins and fascia. The AIS method of muscle lengthening and fascial release is a type of Athletic Stretching Technique that provides effective, dynamic, facilitated stretching of major muscle groups, but more importantly, AIS provides functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes.
WHY AIS?
AIS is important for injury prevention recovery, as well as performance enhancement.
WHO IS AIS FOR?
AIS is something that everyone can benefit from. One of the many things that makes AIS superior in dealing with flexibility problems is that it has no age and very few contraindication limits. It can be used by the very young and by the most senior of senior citizens.
