Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a gentle yet highly effective manual therapy approach that uses controlled muscle contractions to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore normal joint function. This technique is widely practiced by chiropractors, physiotherapists, sports therapists, and osteopaths for both pain relief and functional recovery.
How we can help you?
When muscles become stiff or hypertonic, they restrict joint movement and cause discomfort. Through carefully guided contractions followed by relaxation, MET helps:
- Release tight muscles and improve flexibility
- Normalize restricted joint motion
- Relieve pain and restore muscle balance
- Enhance blood flow and reduce localized swelling
Benefits of Muscle Energy Technique
MET is used in various treatment plans for:
- Stretching postural muscles to restore balance
- Strengthening weakened or underused muscles
- Relaxing tight or cramping muscles
- Re-educating muscles for correct movement and function
- Reducing localized edema and improving circulation
Who Can Benefit from MET?
Muscle Energy Technique can be highly effective for people experiencing:
- Back and neck pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Scoliosis or postural issues
- Sciatica and nerve-related discomfort
- Sports injuries and joint stiffness
- Chronic pain from sedentary lifestyles (desk jobs)
- Recovery needs for children, adults, and the elderly
Many athletes also use MET as a preventive technique to reduce the risk of injuries and maintain peak performance. It is equally valuable for individuals with limited mobility or those recovering from inflammation-related conditions.
