The client wears shorts, sports bra, tube top, etc. It is not a relaxation massage but is very effective as it involves different positions (sidelying), active involvement by the client, and stretching. It is much more structurally and posturally based and is more effective in returning the body to its natural balanced state than regular massage.

This form of stretching was developed under Aaron Mattes who is known as the guru of stretching. It was developed by Aaron Mattes and is the most effective type of stretching.
