Active Isolated Stretching Presented by Joshua Morton

Learn about a dynamic technique for stretching muscles and fascia along fascial lines and specific to joint movement.  Based on the principles of Active Isolated Stretching developed by Aaron Mattes, this stretching system restores greater joint mobility, reduces muscular and fascial tension, corrects aberrant neurological firing and dramatically increases blood and lymph circulation for faster healing from injury.  Aaron’s discovery of the time sensitivity of the spindle cells makes this approach unique for stretching muscle and fascia.  Each stretch is held for about 2 seconds to avoid triggering the myotactic stretch reflex.  Repeated, active muscle contractions return restorative blood and lymphatic flow to the body decreasing inflammation and combating disease. In this presentation, Joshua will explain and demonstrate AIS.
