Assisted Stretching / Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) — $139.00
Active Isolated Stretching, also known as AIS, is a focused stretching and strengthening technique that uses short, controlled movements to target specific muscles and improve range of motion. Unlike traditional static stretching, AIS is designed to gently encourage flexibility while supporting better circulation, mobility, and recovery.
At Planet Massage, Active Isolated Stretching is customized to your body’s needs. This service may be helpful for clients experiencing back tension, neck stiffness, sciatica discomfort, sports-related tightness, limited flexibility, or general mobility concerns. It is also a strong option for anyone who wants to move with less restriction and feel more balanced in their daily routine.
Pricing Starting At:
60 minutes — $139
90 minutes — $204
120 minutes — $268
Experience Active Isolated Stretching for pain relief, improved mobility, and a better quality of movement. AIS is not a traditional massage. It is a therapeutic stretching approach that may be used on its own or combined with massage and other bodywork modalities to support flexibility, comfort, and long-term wellness.
This technique can be especially beneficial for clients dealing with tight muscles, reduced range of motion, postural tension, foot discomfort, sciatica-related tightness, and recovery from physical activity. Each session is guided by a trained professional who helps isolate specific muscle groups and move them through safe, controlled stretches.
Planet Massage is a trusted choice for Active Isolated Stretching in Fort Lauderdale, offering flexible service options for clients who prefer mobile massage, on-call assisted stretching, hotel visits, Airbnb appointments, or in-home wellness sessions.
Clinical Director Mark Lohmann states:
“I have been practicing Active Isolated Stretching for over a decade, and I find that AIS is one of the most effective modalities we offer. It is an impressive form of bodywork and works especially well when combined with other massage and therapeutic techniques.”
Why Active Isolated Stretching Is Different
Active Isolated Stretching is different from traditional stretching because it uses a more precise, targeted, and movement-based approach. Instead of simply holding a stretch for a long period of time, AIS focuses on identifying the specific muscles that may be limiting flexibility, mobility, and comfort.
Each session begins by isolating the muscle groups that need attention. This helps ensure the stretch is directed toward the tissues that may benefit most. With more than 40 movements for the hips, back, and legs, and more than 30 movements for the shoulders, AIS allows your therapist to focus on the areas that may be contributing to pain, tightness, limited range of motion, or reduced performance.
How AIS Works
Active Isolated Stretching uses the body’s natural muscle response to help improve flexibility. Muscles work in pairs through a process called reciprocal inhibition. When one muscle contracts, the opposing muscle is encouraged to relax.
For example, when stretching the hamstrings, which are often connected to low back tightness, the quadriceps may be activated to help signal the hamstrings to relax. This allows the stretch to feel more controlled and effective without forcing the body into a long, uncomfortable hold.
Why Proper Technique Matters
Many people have tried stretching before and felt like they did not get the results they wanted. Some may have stretched on their own, practiced yoga, followed advice from a trainer, or used stretches they learned years ago from sports or physical therapy.
The difference with Active Isolated Stretching is precision. The right muscles need to be targeted in the right order. In some cases, surface-level muscles need to lengthen before deeper muscles can be properly addressed. A trained AIS specialist can help identify where the restriction is coming from and guide your body through the correct movements.
Short, Controlled Stretches
AIS is typically performed using short, controlled stretches that last about two seconds. This approach helps reduce the body’s natural resistance to stretching. When a stretch is held too long, the muscle may begin to tighten or guard against the movement. By using brief repetitions, AIS helps encourage flexibility and mobility in a safer, more gradual way.
Best Experienced with a Trained AIS Specialist
Active Isolated Stretching is often best experienced through a series of sessions with a trained specialist. Many clients notice a difference after their first session, but consistent work can help address deeper patterns of tightness, discomfort, and limited mobility.
Your therapist’s goal is to focus on your specific problem areas while also helping you better understand proper form, movement, and self-care techniques. This makes AIS a helpful option for clients who want professional assisted stretching at home, at a hotel, at an Airbnb, or through a convenient on-call mobile service.
With the right guidance, AIS can support better flexibility, improved range of motion, reduced muscle tightness, and a greater sense of ease in everyday movement.
