Active Isolated Stretching

$39 – 30 Minutes

For Ridgeland, Mississippi athletes, those recovering from injuries, or others who are looking to enhance flexibility or mobility, active isolated stretching (AIS) is an amazing solution. AIS is not like traditional stretching. Instead, the precise, controlled movements are held for short intervals which allows the muscles to slowly lengthen without the natural reflexive protective protraction. The goal of AIS is to decrease injury, promote healing of sore muscles, and encourage complete muscle relaxation.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a unique method of enhancing flexibility, preventing injuries, and improving your muscle function. The magic behind AIS is that by moving rapidly through various sketchings, your body is ot able to activate it’s natural tendency to stop the stretch like it will do in traditional stretching. OUr bodies reflexively do this as a method of protection but doing so inhibits flexibility. Over time, with using AIS, your muscle length and range of motion will improve. AIS is also advantageous when recovering from a sports injury or surgery.

AIS is beneficial for managing a range of conditions and for improving performance in athletes. If you’re suffering from chronic pain, book an appointment at Amazing Hands for an AIS treatment. The resulting relief in pain from conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and injuries is simply incredible and you deserve that relief! AIS is also incredibly helpful if you are elderly or sit a lot in your daily life. AIS helps maintain mobility and reduce stiffness while also improving posture and relieving muscle tension.

Benefits of Active Isolated Stretching

AIS has wide-ranging benefits for every individual! With an AIS appointment or two at Amazing Hands Day Spa, you’ll be able to:

Increase muscular function: Blood flow and oxygen to your tissues through an active isolated stretching session promotes healing and repair in your muscles while also improving muscular performance.
Improve flexibility & mobility: By combating the body’s natural reflexive response through the quick movements that AIS uses, you’ll be able to engage and stretch specific muscles over time.
Prevent injury: The more flexible you are, along with being flexible and having soft connective tissue, you’ll greatly decrease the likelihood of muscle and ligament tears or strains.
Relieve pain: Through increasing blood flow, massaging deep tissues, working on poor posture, and addressing problem areas in your body, AIS works to relieve painful points in your body. Combine AIS with a massage appointment and you’ll emerge feeling like a brand new you!
