Active Isolated Stretching & Strengthening: The Mattes Method: Centers on the physiological principles of specific muscle lengthening & strengthening, increased circulation plus oxygen to the tissues, lengthening & strengthening of the superficial and deep fascia. The seminar involves exact details of how to safely lengthen & strengthening muscles and fascia simultaneously maintaining a physiologically based agonist-antagonist relationship. The seminar is 15% lectures, 85% hands-on work. Detailed approaches to each muscle surrounding a joint, various indications and contraindications related to diseases, injuries, joint replacements, osteoporosis, neuropathy and other factors.

• Basic overview of stretching techniques – Ballistic, Passive, Static stretching, Proprioceptive

neuromuscular facilitation

• When is stretching important – warm-up, warm down, rehabilitation

• Outline of important Active Isolated Stretching principles – identify, isolate and intensify, physiology – blood flow, oxygen (exhalation, inhalation), stretch reflex, Golgi tendon reflex, fascia, joint capsule, muscles

• Active Isolated Stretching considerations – Sherrington’s Law, “no pain, no gain” innervation, inhibition – concentric, eccentric contraction, external assistance Active Isolated Stretching – Rehabilitation Modality – trigger points, bio mechanical stress, soft, pliable scar, removal toxins, acids Active Lymphatic system, aids in lung ventilation, nourishes and lubricates muscles specific injury techniques

• Identify the specific muscles to be stretched & strengthened • Isolate the muscles to be stretched & strengthened by using precise localized movements • Perform treatment for specific strength of fundamental movements Materials:

You will receive the Active Isolated Stretching: & Strengthening: The Mattes Method Books and a stretching rope.
