Services
Active Isolated Stretching
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) targets specific muscles through controlled movements to improve flexibility and recovery. Our certified practitioners use Aaron Mattes' method to treat sports injuries, post-surgery conditions, and chronic pain. This technique enhances circulation while reducing muscle tension through precise 2-second stretches.
Stone Massage
Deep tissue stone massage combines temperature therapy with ergonomic techniques to relieve muscle tension. We use heated basalt stones for relaxation and cold stones for inflammation reduction. Our method focuses on body mechanics to ensure therapist sustainability while delivering effective pain relief and improved circulation for clients.
Professional Workshops
NCBTMB-approved workshops provide continuing education for massage professionals. Courses cover AIS clinical applications, stone therapy techniques, and body mechanics. Participants gain hands-on experience with temperature therapy protocols and learn to integrate these methods into spa or clinical settings while earning required CE credits.
Online Courses
Streaming video courses offer flexible learning for massage professionals. Content includes AIS protocols, stone massage techniques, and self-care practices. These programs provide access to clinical demonstrations and instructional materials that therapists can review repeatedly to refine their skills at their own pace.
Educational DVDs
Instructional DVDs provide visual guides for AIS techniques and stone massage applications. These resources demonstrate proper form, equipment use, and treatment sequences. Designed for both practitioners and clients, the videos serve as reference tools to maintain technique accuracy and support ongoing learning beyond in-person sessions.
