Active Isolated Stretching: The Mattes Method (WMC)

Course overview

Over the past few decades, experts have advocated static stretching as a safe and effective way to stretch muscles. However, this type of stretching can actually decrease blood flow within the tissue, creating localized ischemia, irritation, or injury. Active Isolated Stretching is a novel approach to stretching that can be incorporated into your massage and provides effective, functional, and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes.
