Description
Learn how to assess and correct joint restrictions with Muscle Energy Technique, a gentle and precise approach that uses the client’s own muscular resistance to improve alignment and mobility.
This comprehensive online video course teaches how to evaluate joint stiffness, muscle tightness, and motion restrictions, then position the client and apply carefully guided resistance to restore more normal movement.
Explore detailed techniques for the pelvis, sacrum, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, ribs, hips, neck, and shoulders. You will learn approaches for pelvic upslips and downslips, inflare and outflare patterns, sacral rotations, pubic imbalances, spinal restrictions, rib dysfunctions, and other common movement problems.
The course also explains the principles behind MET, including motion barriers, muscle spindle function, joint mechanics, appropriate resistance, and the difference between techniques designed to release muscles and those used to address joint restrictions.
With more than 5 hours of detailed video instruction, this course provides a structured full-body system that can be easily integrated into massage, bodywork, and other manual therapy sessions.
Designed for massage therapists and bodyworkers who want a gentle, clinically focused alternative to forceful manipulation, while developing stronger assessment and treatment skills.
