Muscle Energy Technique (MET)

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a manual therapy used by healthcare professionals to improve muscle function and alleviate pain. In this technique, a patient is guided to gently contract specific muscles against resistance provided by the practitioner. This process helps to stretch tight muscles, enhance blood flow, and restore range of motion. MET relies on the patient's own muscle strength and efforts, making it a safe and collaborative approach to treatment. It can be effective for various musculoskeletal issues, promoting healing and improving mobility without invasive procedures.
