Active Isolated Stretching
About Active Isolated Stretching
Exercise and activities of daily living can be strenuous on the muscle in our body. Using Active Isolated Stretching will help prepare the muscles, joints and fascia of the body in preforming these activities. The more flexible and warmed up the muscles and fascia the more flexible you become with less chance of injury. The Active Stretch is no longer than 2 seconds, allowing the muscle to lengthen without triggering the protective stretch reflex and the subsequent reciprocal antagonistic muscle contraction.
