Did 14.3 or just a long week of training leave you sore or tight? Crossfit Red Bank now offers Active Isolation Stretching or A.I.S. AIS is one of the most common methods for increasing range of motion used in sports therapy. During a session, your therapist will gently push your muscles just beyond their normal range of motion and hold this stretched position for only two seconds. This brief stretch allows the targeted muscle to lengthen without triggering the stretch reflex that contracts the antagonist muscle, or the muscle that opposes the targeted muscle. This gentle stretch is repeated several times for each targeted muscle. AIS protocol involves more than 170 different stretches that target all the muscle groups in the body, including those that are hard to palpate, such as the psoas. Your practitioner will choose which are appropriate for you according to your symptoms and evaluation. Talk to Coach Evan Buckalew for details!
