Muscle Energy Technique
Are your muscles causing you pain? An excelled method of treatment is Muscle Energy Technique. Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a gentle manual therapy intervention that mobilizes joints and relaxes muscles using subtle muscle contractions to relax hypertonic tissue and mobilize joints through active participation of both the therapist and patient. MET is an excellent gentle alternative to traditional thrust manipulation to treat stiff joints and muscle “cramps or spasms” due to overuse or strain. This type of therapy is used for:
- Shoulder pain
- Scoliosis
- Sciatica,
- Asymmetrical leg, hips, or arms
- Chronic muscle pain
- Stiffness or injury.
