Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) is a form of a manual therapy which uses a muscle’s own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition, and lengthen the muscle. As compared to static stretching which is a passive technique in which therapist does all the work, MET is an active technique in which the patient is also an active participant.

Who Can Benefit:

My approach is particularly effective for those conditions that have not been resolved in the traditional therapy setting. It is appropriate from pediatrics to geriatrics and most conditions typically respond to this approach including:

• Acute Pain
• Chronic Pain
• Musculoskeletal Injuries
• Concussions/TBI
• Digestive Disorders
• Male and Female Pelvic Pain and Dysfunction
• Preoperative Preparation and Post-Operative Recovery
• Injury Prevention and Injury Recovery
• Trauma/PTSD
• ADD/ADHD
• Autism
• Emotional Difficulties
• TMJ Dysfunction

What to Expect in a Session:

One on one therapy sessions guarantee a unique treatment and plan of care. Sessions typically last one hour. Outside of the current medical model, I have the freedom to see you in my office, in your home or perhaps you need me to evaluate an activity, posture, or dysfunction at work or on the playing field. I am willing and able to travel to see you in motion in order to integrate changes into your daily life.

Frequency of Sessions:

Typically, patients receive treatment once every ten to twenty days with few exceptions depending on the injury and acuteness of the complaint.

Scheduling:

By appointment.
