Who is Stretching SA?
J.W De Wit founded Stretching SA in February 2005; this is
an organization that intends to focus on pioneering and
exploiting the new and innovative therapeutic methods of
Aaron L. Mattes in South Africa, and the rest of Africa.
These methods are called Active Isolated stretching, and
Active Isolated strengthening. The clinic is situated in
Faerie Glen, Pretoria, owned by J.W de Wit.
Everybody needs to stretch and even more so stretch the right way.
In every human being muscle imbalance and muscular trauma do exist. With Active
Isolated stretching, these imbalances can be adjusted, and the different muscle
groups would be able to work together in harmony again. When this can be
achieved, most serious diseases and illnesses can be prevented in a
significant way.
STRETCHING SA ™ aims to bring this important message into the hearts of
everybody in South Africa. Every parent that knows his/her kid will be entering
his/her growth spurt soon should engage in postural screening tests, and proper
exercises like AIS. Every young man or woman that knows he/she is not flexible at
all, and might get serious consequences from this. Every sportsman that is
serious about his sport and/or profession should engage in a proper stretching
program as soon as possible. Every middle-aged person that knows that when one
neglects the physical condition of the body you will become obese and put
yourself at risk. Every aged human being that suffers from pain and age related
problems, and everybody with postural problems and any other musculoskeletal
disorder will find a huge benefit from the physical programs that STRETCHING
SA ™ can bring to them.
