Introduction
IN THIS COURSE
The Muscle Energy Technique (MET) online course is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their manual therapy skills by applying MET.
This technique is a form of osteopathic manipulative treatment that involves the voluntary contraction of a patient's muscles against a counterforce applied by the practitioner. MET improves musculoskeletal function and alleviates pain by mobilizing joints, stretching tight muscles and fascia, and improving circulation.
