AYC Stretch Release Exercise is an original exercise therapy that is a combination of two forms of stretches and fascia release, which is tailored to the patient’s symptoms. By performing PNF stretching and AIS assistant stretching in one session, you can expect increased range of motion of the muscles and joints as well as increased flexibility. Also, by using a Theragun massage machine that works on the deep muscle tissue and releasing the fascia in areas where stretching alone is not effective, the whole body is stretched and loosened in a well-balanced manner, resulting in improvement of edema, blood flow, and metabolism.

• PNF Stretch (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)
  : By stimulating and contracting the muscles and then stretching it, the nerves of the motor system are stimulated, and it will increase the range of motion of muscles and joints and increase flexibility. At the same time, muscle strength improvement can be expected by contraction stimulation.
• AIS Assisted Stretching (Assisted Active Isolated Stretching)
  : A program of stretching that applies the mechanism of the central nervous system called reciprocal inhibition. By contracting the muscle on the opposite side (antagonist muscle) of the target muscle, it promotes relaxation and extension of the target muscle. This stretch is effective for rehabilitation of injuries and warming up before muscle strength training. Also, even the muscles that cannot be fully stretched with self-stretching, can be fully stretched by the auxiliary load by the therapist and their support in maintaining the stretching posture. It will improve the flexibility of the muscles and increase the range of motion of muscles and joints.
