AIS (Active Isolated Stretching), developed by Aaron Mattes, is a stretching method that facilitates effective lengthening of major muscle groups and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascial planes. It involves active movement and reciprocal inhibition (opposing muscular contraction) to achieve optimal flexibility. This approach provides amazing functional movement benefits. AIS is used by athletes worldwide to assist with achieving optimal sports performance. It is also effective for individuals who need muscular rehabilitation and/or have chronic pain. AIS will help rapidly accelerate your movement goals when combined with good functional movement strategies through the STOTT PILATES® method.

GYROTONIC® exercises offer complete freedom of movement. Exercises are performed on the Professional Pulley Tower, and the system is fully adjustable and can meet the needs of many people with varying body types and levels of strength. The even and constant resistance in the handle unit and pulley tower, (through the triple reduction in the pulleys), completely eliminates the jarring that takes place at the beginning and end of exercises performed on conventional exercise equipment, when many injuries occur. The circular, spiraling and undulating movements that characterize the GYROTONIC® EXPANSION SYSTEM help to increase the functional capacity of the spine, contributing to a spherical and three-dimensional awareness, resulting in increased equilibrium.
