The Mattes Method of Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a powerful technique that can help you achieve and maintain the kind of life you want to live. Whether you are looking to address physical problems, increase athletic performance or enhance your health, it can be a very valuable approach to achieve your goals. That is why AIS is the primary method used at Progressive Body Therapy.

AIS has been used to address a multitude of conditions, including, but not limited to: back and neck pain, whiplash, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet, shoulder pain and injuries (including those to the rotator cuff), elbow pain, scoliosis, hip pain, knee pain, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes, and arch problems.

While AIS can be used as therapy, it can also be used by people at home to enhance their health. Patients are guided in proper stretching and strengthening exercises to promote balance in their body. No matter whether we are athletes, musicians, carpenters, parents or office workers, we can all benefit by training our bodies to handle the rigors of our daily activities. AIS is a remarkable resource for people who desire to improve their quality of life.
