Karena Schlatter appreciates having an able body and active lifestyle.  As a young girl she participated in swimming, gymnastics and ballet.  As an adult she enjoys waterskiing, paddle-boarding, snow skiing, working out, hiking, long walks and recently aerial.  As much as she enjoys being active she also loves academia and studying human behavior. A licensed drug and alcohol counselor working in social services gained her even greater perspective on our collective need for play and adventure.  In recent years she became a certified professional ski instructor. Soon after she sustained a severe knee injury and wasn’t healing well.  Having recently been diagnosed with a connective tissue disease, (autoimmune disease) she wondered if “wellness” would ever be in reach. That’s when she discovered Active Isolated Stretching.  Initially a patient receiving AIS treatment to regain range of motion in her knee she soon became a devoted enthusiast recognizing the immense overall health benefits; especially those to her immune system.  Karena has since witnessed professional athletes remain injury free during an entire season playing professional football and a diabetic feel sensation in her feet after just 1 treatment previously feeling nothing but neuropathy pain the preceding 10 years all due, in part, to receiving regular and consistent Active Isolated Stretching.
