While non-professionals with a working knowledge of anatomy are welcome, this workshop is designed primarily for bodyworkers, physical therapists, OTs, athletic trainers, chiropractors, nurses, and other health professionals who want to expand their ways of working with their clients and patients by learning this state-of-the-art flexibility paradigm. Bodyworkers and health professionals will recognize the scientific principles that make AIS so effective. Neuromuscular and neurological reprogramming and myofascial release are intrinsic to The Mattes Method. 

Participants practice these stretches with each other on massage tables and chairs. There is no nudity necessary for this work. We “go deep” in this technique using the science of Sherrington & Wollf’s Laws rather than needing to touch every tissue possitively affected. Mindful movement on the part of the practitioner is rehearsed.
