Muscle Energy Technique Certification (MET-C)
About Course
A form of manual therapy that uses the muscle contractions of the client to relax and lengthen the tissues and normalize joint motion. It is considered an active technique, as opposed to a passive technique where only the practitioner/trainer does the work. Muscles on one side of a joint will always relax to accommodate the contraction of the opposing muscles of that joint when indirect pressure is applied. This technique is often applied to clients who suffer from muscle spasms and the process of lengthening shortened or spastic muscles, to improve weakened ligament and muscle strength, help to directly improve range of motion.
If a joint is not used to its full range of motion, its function will lessen and it will be at risk of suffering strains and injuries. This form of muscular therapy makes use of a client’s own muscle energy, while the practitioner/trainer presents a stationary surface (resistance) the patient will contract their muscle against in order to stretch the muscle and joint to its full potential. Muscle energy techniques can be applied safely to almost any joint in the body.
Many athletes use MET as a preventative measure to guard against future muscle and joint injury. It is mainly used by individuals who have a limited range of motion due to joint dysfunction in the neck and back, and for broader areas such as; shoulder pain, scoliosis, sciatica, unsymmetrical legs, hips or arms, or to address chronic muscle pain, stiffness or injury.
