About the course

This practical course will introduce you to the basic theoretical and practical principles of MET’s, and has been specifically designed to offer you an opportunity to integrate new techniques into your current clinical practice.

The primary aims of the course are to enable you to achieve improved joint mobility, stretch shortened muscle and fascia, break down adhesions and fibrotic tissue, improve muscle tone and circulation and reduce tightness thus increasing range of movement.

By the end of the day you should be able to professionally and competently demonstrate the skills of MET\’s used in soft tissue mobilisation, and will have covered topics including isometric contraction, PIR, and a revision of the postural muscles.[/cs_text][x_share title=\”Share this Post\” share_title=\”\” facebook=\”true\” twitter=\”true\” google_plus=\”true\” linkedin=\”true\” pinterest=\”true\” reddit=\”false\” email=\”true\” email_subject=\”Hey, thought you might enjoy this!

  • Muscle energy techniques (MET) for postural dysfunction.
  • Muscle length assessments.
  • Treatments using MET’s including – chronic and acute.
  • Post Isometric relaxation (PIR).
  • Reciprocal inhibition (RI).
  • Possible neurological mechanisms involved.
  • Contraindications to MET.
By the end of the day you will have;
  • Gained an understanding of the theory of MET and the confidence to apply specific stretching to areas of the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Be able to professionally and competently demonstrate the skills necessary to perform a muscle length test and Muscle Energy Technique (MET’s) to different parts of the body.
  • Learned and be able to demonstrate 5 MET releases
  • Gained an explanation of the benefits of using MET
  • Be able to describe the contraindications to using MET
