MANY of these exercise are Extremely CONTRAINDICATED and should be AVOIDED
I was just at a conference with Pavel over the weekend. Had an opportunity to talk and discuss stretching with him and my Mentor Aaron Mattes.
Simply Put, Pavel got an Education on Stretching that weekend by Mr Mattes (Creator of Active Isolated Stretching: The Mattes Method).
We were able to show and explain to him though some of his methods are just ok, they are NOT for everyone!!! How he is violating the simple LAWS of human physiology. (see below)
I saw your review on loaded stretching dvd. ( a bit of an oxymoron title if you ask me) As a Muscle that is loaded CANNOT be Stretched!!! Only Eccentrically elongated. For example Yoga is not stretching but a series of eccentric contractions. Will you get flexible doing Yoga? Yes, but will take days, months or years. Where with Active Isolated Stretching it can be done in minutes or a few days.
Also he uses Post Isometric relaxation response to achieve flexibility. This has been proven to have little long term effect. Followed by another Isometric contraction. And what does Isometric contractions do to the muscle? You guessed it, cuts off the blood, oxygen and nutrient supply to the muscle! Does that sound healthy? Wouldnt you rather FEED the muscle with Blood carrying Oxygen and nutrients?? With AIS that is what is happening.
The best part is when we stretched Pavel and found him to be tight in areas he cannot reach, BUT Also had an Injury from Training!!! With AIS Injuries are greatly reduced or eliminated. (Baltimore Orioles never had an injury when using AIS, nor have the Kenyan Runners, etc, etc..)
Do agree that the muscle has to be strengthened at the end ranges of movement to prevent injury.
