Muscle Energy Technique

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a form of manual therapy used to improve flexibility, relieve pain, and restore proper function in muscles and joints. In this technique, a therapist helps a patient engage specific muscles against gentle resistance. By doing so, the muscles relax and can be safely stretched, promoting better movement. MET relies on the body’s natural ability to heal itself, using the patient's own muscle contractions to facilitate recovery. This approach is commonly employed in physical therapy and chiropractic settings to address muscle tightness and joint dysfunction without invasive procedures.
