AIS is a specific stretching program developed by Aaron Mattes over 30 years ago, Kinesiotherapist and Licensed Massage Therapist who has dedicated his practice to helping both professional and amateur athletes to reduce muscle pain, increase flexibility, and improve performance while decreasing the chance of injury.

The AIS technique is based on reciprocal innervation of muscle tissue. Each stretch is repeated eight to 10 times in order to increase the circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the muscles being stretched. This technique will help you gain the most flexibility per session. Remember, the more nutrition a muscle can obtain and the more toxins a muscle can release, the faster the muscle can recover.

Each stretch is held for a maximum of two seconds in order to avoid the activation of the stretch reflex. The stretch reflex (also called the myotatic reflex) prevents a muscle or tendon from overstretching too far or too fast. This is our body's natural protection against strains, sprains, and tears. By holding short-term stretches, we increase our range of motion with each repetition and eliminate any fear of pain.
