Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS)
Active Isolated-Stretching (AIS) is a flexibility system that involves
working one muscle at a time. By actively contracting muscles opposite
of the targeted muscle, AIS automaticaly relaxes specific muscle in
preparation of its stretch. AIS is performed by gentle and quick
stretches, and releases the muscle before it has a chance to protectively
contract. AIS allows the body to become more efficient and enhances range
of motion. In utilizing AIS, individuals are more balanced, less
susceptible to injury and promotes overall well being.
