Muscle Energy Technique (MET)

MET is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works by activating the muscles surrounding a joint to facilitate improved joint positioning and restore normal joint mechanics.  During MET, you actively make small, controlled muscle contractions against a therapist’s resistance. After each round of contractions, the therapist gently stretches the muscle to a new range of motion. This helps relax tight muscles, improve joint movement, increase circulation, and reduce pain.

This pain-free technique is commonly used for back and neck pain, shoulder stiffness, pelvic issues, and other musculoskeletal problems. It’s safe, effective, and relies on the body’s natural reflexes to restore normal muscle function.
