New! Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening AIS)

Clients of all ages and health conditions can gain significant improvement from a method of stretching & strengthening known as AIS. It is an efficient and effective exercise system. In addition to quickly building strength and flexibility, it can help speed recovery from a wide variety of pain and injury problems. AIS has proven effective in helping clients, including elderly people, to regain their coordination, fine motor skills, and full range of motion; helping athletes to achieve maximum performance; and helping individuals with Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, thoracic outlet syndrome, ALS, and other diseases to slow or even reverse the progression of debilitating neuromuscular symptoms.

Why Try AIS ?

• To treat and prevent injuries. - AIS speeds the healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and joints. Combining this technique with other forms of treatment can accelerate the recovery process by up to 50%. Additionally, increasing flexibility, strength, and resilience can greatly reduce an individual’s vulnerability to future injuries.


• To regain lost capabilities. - As we grow older, many of us accept limitations to our body’s functioning (such as a reduced range of motion, decreased strength and flexibility, and impaired coordination or fine motor skills) as an inevitable result of the aging process or degenerative diseases. Through AIS, many of these declines can be successfully prevented or reversed.


• To feel younger and healthier. - Restoring optimal health in areas of the body that have been injured, neglected, or overstressed can have profound effects on a person’s well-being and quality of life.


• To relieve symptoms of stress. - Gentle stretching movements can invigorate the circulatory, respiratory, and neuromuscular systems, which help alleviate many of the symptoms of stress.


• To enhance performance. - Flexibility is a key determinant among top athletes. It provides for maximal strength performance factors such as momentum, acceleration, force, inertia, levels and angles of muscle contraction and stretching. Flexibility is the most important factor in the longevity of an athlete and is key to the prevention and recovery of sports injuries. The primary obstacle to flexibility is the tightness of the surrounding muscles and fascia of a joint.
