Active Isolated Stretching, the quintessential work of Aaron Mattes, is a hands-on technical guide for therapists, coaches and teachers aiding in injury prevention, training, conditioning and rehabilitation. Well illustrated with full color pictures, this invaluable text will show supportive techniques performed during a treatment session.

This book is divided into two sections. In the first section, all of the stretches are assisted by the therapist, and in the second half, the stretches are to be performed alone.

The "active" portion is also sold separately as Specific Stretching for Everyone, and makes a great reference guide for clients to take home.
