Muscle Energy Techniques

Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) are manual therapy methods used to improve movement and reduce pain. In a typical session, a therapist guides a patient to gently contract a muscle against resistance while in a specific position. This is often followed by a period of relaxation. The process helps to stretch tight muscles, improve flexibility, and restore proper function. MET is commonly used in physical therapy, chiropractic care, and osteopathy, promoting healing and recovery without invasive procedures. It's a collaborative technique that empowers patients to play an active role in their rehabilitation.
