Active Isolated Stretching & Strengthening (AIS)

For decades, static stretching was considered the gold standard of stretching techniques until Active Isolated Stretching & Strengthening (AIS) came along.

AIS, best known in the context of athletic stretching for performance enhancement, has likewise proven its worth in injury prevention, rehabilitation, postural restoration, longevity enhancement, and general health.

Regardless of your flexibility and mobility needs, progress takes time and requires (minimal) effort on your part. Since the whole AIS protocol can take several hours, it is almost always done on limited sections of the body, focusing on areas that require the most attention.

Either as part of your warm-up, cool-down, or a separate program, assuming that joint compliance will be more beneficial to you as opposed to stability, we suggest that you stretch only on the days when you want to feel revitalized!
