Isolated Stretching
Active Isolated Stretching
Jason Auer-Sears
The Mattes Method will expand the potential of your profession. Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) one of the safest and most effective therapeutic stretching methods practiced today. A.I.S. has been developed over the last 35 years by kinesiotherapist, Aaron Mattes.
An effective treatment for deep and superficial fascial release, A.I.S. isolates hypertonic muscle groups and increases their range of motion through assisted repetative stretches. These stretches promote physiological wellbeing by promoting improved circulation, joint mobility and tissue elasticity.
Jason Auer-Sears has used AIS along with massage and energy healing techniques in a clinical environment for five years. As a licensed massage therapist, chiropractic assistant, reiki master and chakra therapist, Jason has utilized Active Isolated Stretching as a way to enhance the therapeutic quality of all modalities used in his wellness clinic on a daily basis. He continues to learn from and assist Aaron Mattes. Recently, Mr. Auer-Sears used Active Isolated Stretching to treat the 150 members of team LIVESTRONG. The Lance Armstrong Foundation’s grassroots fund raising cyclists made quite an impact on RAGBRAI this year with the appreciated daily help of AIS and massage.
