Muscle Energy Technique 1 – 5

Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
according to Mitchell, is a gentle treatment method for the musculoskeletal system. MET is a direct technique that can restore normal joint play without "forcefully setting" the joint.
It helps as a gentle, pain-free therapy for pain and limitations of the entire musculoskeletal system.
Blocked vertebrae or joints are brought back to their original position through specific positioning and isometric contraction cycles, i.e., through the patient's muscle power.
This approach does not merely manipulate the joint surface,
but also treats the entire surrounding connective tissue and musculature, which leads to far safer results than chiropractic impulse manipulations.
