Aaron Mattes' Active Isolated Stretching: The Neck and Shoulder
3.5 CE Contact Hours
This training will teach the principles of Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) and the skills to apply them to the neck and shoulder. AIS is a uniquely efficient and effective exercise methodology that speeds the healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and joints. Combining AIS with other forms of treatment can accelerate the recovery process by up to 50%. Moreover, by increasing flexibility, strength, and resilience, it can greatly reduce an individual's vulnerability to future injuries. When minor strains or tears do occur, continued AIS work helps to prevent the buildup of scar tissue - a major contributor to stiffness, inflexibility, chronic injury, and pain conditions. AIS can also help clients feel younger and healthier. 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. Through AIS, many of these declines can be successfully prevented or reversed, often dramatically improving a person's well-being and quality of life. Even individuals with degenerative neuromuscular conditions can benefit from AIS work. By stimulating neural growth, creating new neural pathways, and reducing muscle spasticity, these techniques can successfully reduce the symptoms of various debilitating conditions - including Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and other diseases - that do not respond to other forms of manual treatment.
