In a nutshell, Active Isolated Stretching uses a rhythmic stretch lasting no more than 2 seconds. Yes! This short duration stretch allows for maximum blood/oxygen flow into the tissue without triggering the protective stretch-reflex that leads to the pain or injury associated with static stretching.
AIS is gentle, easy to use, and incredibly effective. It can be used as a warm up, cool down or any time you need a quick pick me up!
