Stretch Therapy

ACTIVE ASSISTED STRETCHING is a very specific and advanced form of stretching that lengthens and releases deep, myofascial connective tissue. Beyond typical stretching methods, Active Assisted Stretching targets individual muscles in a progressive and systematic format. This type of stretching is proactive, which means you actively do the stretch, only to be assisted by yourself or practitioner.

AAS is performed (using a rope or strap for assistance if done by yourself) through your range of motion, held for 2 seconds and doing 5-10 repetitions of 2 sets each.
