Smart Stretch: A Visual Guide to Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Smart Stretch works with the body’s natural intelligence to safely elongate muscle, improve mobility, and restore balance within the fascial matrix. Using precise alignment, you will isolate specific muscles and learn how to stretch virtually every movement in the body.

Based on the latest research in movement and mobility, Smart Stretch integrates the best practices of mindful movement (yoga, tai-chi) with clinically proven techniques. This workbook includes easy-to-follow self-stretches with over 50 unique sequences to isolate & stretch virtually every movement in the body.

Smart Stretch is perfect for athletes looking to level-up their performance, while coaches, teachers, training partners and manual therapists can learn to provide hands-on techniques with their athletes.

In a nutshell, Active Isolated Stretching uses a rhythmic stretch lasting no more than 2 seconds. Yes! This short duration stretch allows for maximum blood/oxygen flow into the tissue without triggering the protective stretch-reflex that leads to the pain or injury associated with static stretching.

AIS is gentle, easy to use, and incredibly effective. It can be used as a warm up, cool down or any time you need a quick pick me up!
