MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE

Muscle energy technique is a direct, non-invasive manual therapy used to relieve pain, normalize joint dysfunction and increase range of motion. The practitioner evaluates the primary areas of dysfunction in order to place the affected joints in precise positions that enable the client to perform gentle isometric contractions. These directed movements help correct neuromuscular and joint difficulties.

Muscle energy techniques can be applied safely to almost any joint in the body. Many athletes use MET as a preventative measure to guard against future muscle and joint injury. However, its mainly used by individuals who have a limited range of motion due to back pain, neck and shoulder pain, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), sciatica, asymmetrical legs, hips or arms, or to treat chronic muscle pain, stiffness or injury. It can also be used very effectively to treat persistent headaches and migraine.

Muscle energy technique (or MET) is based on the principle of reciprocal inhibition, a theory that explains that muscles on one side of a joint will always relax to accommodate the contraction of muscles on the other side of that joint when indirect pressure is applied. Muscle energy techniques are applied to a patient in order to relieve pain, release shortened or spastic muscles, improve weakened ligament and muscle strength and to improve the range of motion.
