@ Charlie - Sorry, I copy&pasted from this site: http://www.centerpointmn.com/education_calendar.shtml#ais

Centerpoint Massage & Shiatsu School is in Minneapolis, MN.

I plan to attend this class. Roger is one of Aaron Mattes' top proteges, and this class will utilize the new instruction format that will be the basis for a new AIS certification and instructor training process. When I first TA'd for Aaron Mattes, Roger was the Lead TA, and he is a walking wealth of knowledge. I have complete confidence that this course will be excellent.

Participant Preparation: Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for stretching/movement.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is one of the methods of stretching most used by today's athletes, massage therapists, personal/athletic trainers, and professionals. It is a method of muscle lengthening and fascial release and is a type of athletic stretching that provides effective, dynamic, facilitated stretching of major muscle groups. More importantly, AIS provides functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes. Active Isolated Stretching allows the body to repair itself and also to prepare for daily activity. The Active Isolated Stretching technique involves the method of holding each stretch for only two seconds and allows the target muscle to lengthen without triggering the protective stretch reflex. This method of stretching is also known to work with the body's natural physiological makeup to improve circulation and increase the elasticity of muscle and fascia. Many conditions have been found to respond well to AIS, including scoliosis, patello-femoral syndrome, hip imbalances, leg length imbalance, fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and Parkinson’s disease. Many medical Doctors, Chiropractors, and Physical Therapists have recognized the benefits of AIS. This exciting technique is popular with therapists and clients alike! Participants will learn AIS techniques for the lower body including back, hips and legs. In addition, participants receive books, a stretching rope, and the course manual.

Instructor: Roger McNear is a native Minnesotan who developed a love for endurance sports in the early 1970's when he began distance bicycle riding and skiing marathon distances. In the mid 1970's Roger began teaching fitness and wellness. As more and more people inquired into personal training services with him, he obtained certification through the American Council on Exercise as a Personal Trainer. Roger is also a member of the American College of Sports Medicine. Soon Roger was taking classes from his mentor, Aaron Mattes, developer of Active Isolated Stretching (A.I.S). Recognizing the amazing restorative and healing benefits of AIS, Roger began teaching AIS, and has done so for years. He maintains a private practice in Cambridge, MN.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) Lower Body


Location: Swedish Institute (NYC)Open to Massage Therapists.In this two-day workshop, participants will focus on the lower body (including the feet). We will review muscle action and function, along with AIS principles for stretching clients in a clinical setting. We will explore the deepest tissues of the body with precision and with movements that increase the flow of blood and oxygen to over-contracted and over-stretched tissues. This class is based on Aaron Mattes’ 40 years of experience in soft tissue rehabilitation. We will review some self-help stretching as well as strengthening protocols for therapists’ longevity. If you are working in a clinical environment or want to, this work can change your approach forever.www.spiriphysical.com

Marjorie,
It is always a great feeling when you can help someone in a profound way. Great training combined with the best of intentions produces superior results.

Validations of our work is a great thing as long as we recognize we are only helpers and our clients heal themselves.

I look forward to when we meet again.

Just had the most awesome session with a 68 year old - 5 year old left hip & knee replacement - the knee was out and she could barely walk from the pain- the Scar tissue was pulling her in every which way- released it and followed with AIS and corective gait training and she literally skipped out of my office! My day is made!

Hi everyone,
I don't know but it sounds like you could add the The Rossiter System to AIS and come up with some very interesting effects. I know from working with athletic trainers I see them use a little of both. The effect on the athletes always seem to help them recover faster. Anyone have any experience with this?

Went hiking early this morning slipped and fell ever so gracfully on my rearend. Dusted myself off - no apparent damage and started off again about five minutes in my neck started to lockup. It took only a few minutes of AIS Cervical stretches - the muscles & sublicated vertabra released and I was good to go... How awesome is AIS!
