Active Isolated Stretching

Active Isolated Stretching Classes at Breeze

How does your body feel? Loose, free, fully mobile… or stiff and sometimes heavy?

Do you suffer from back pain, neck pain or tension in the shoulders?

When you look in the mirror what do you see?  A straight, confident, dynamic person or someone who’s posture deteriorates when physically or emotionally overworked, tired or under stress.

Only those who have made a conscious decision to look after themselves and actually do it, are happy with the way their body looks and feels.

Being fit is not just about being strong.  It is also feeling fully mobile, no restictions, free in your body.  Youth is determined by the amount of energy you have and energy is life!

We start losing mobility in our 20′s.  Both men and women start to feel the effects of time and a sedentary life in their general fitness and well being, yet this can be overcome with work on flexibility and mobility.

A flexible body, a body that is properly aligned, fully mobile and functional is a lot less prone to injuries and stands us in far greater stead to give us the freedom and vitality we need for a healthy happy daily life that we all both desire and deserve.

Active Isolate Stretching is one of the most innovative and safest forms of therapeutic stretching and has proven to be particularly effective for postural re-alignment and increasing flexibility.  This is how it works – muscles operate in pairs.  Through reciprocal innervation of muscles that are actively contracted, the antagonist muscles are relaxed and therefore safely stretched so as to increase joint and muscle mobility.

So, how can it help you?  It relieves pain – 80% of back pain is due to mechanical dysfunction and can be relieved through re-aligning the posture.  Active stretching is particularly effective in realigning your posture and relieving your pains.  It prevents injuries – by incresing your flexibility, mobility and the health of your muscles, tendons and ligaments, you reduce the risk of muscle strain and tear.  Regular Active Stretching significantly helps prevent injuries caused by day to day living.  It promotes faster recovery – AIS improves oxygenation and nutrition of the myofacial structures, promoting growth and repair.  It increases blood circulation – AIS also stimulates circulation through lymph drainage, which helps eliminate waste. It increases mobility and flexibility – AIS allows you to intensify your training, protect from pain, spasms and tension which can inhibit your movements.

So all in all, this is a fantastic way of enhancing your health, well being and vitality.
