MET-Rx Courses

MET-Rx FULL SERIES

About MET-Rx Series:
Muscle energy techniques (MET) are a combination of mobilisation and contract-relax techniques combined and applied to treating musculoskeletal dysfunction. Used in manual and physical therapy, METs treat somatic dysfunction, especially decreased range of motion, muscular hypertonicity and pain. METs are a direct and active technique as they engage a restrictive barrier and require the patient's participation for maximal effect. MET s can significantly decrease disability and improve functionality in patients with disorders such as whiplash, neck pain, thoracic spine and rib pain, along with low back and pelvic pain.

This series comprises of three different courses which provide a clinically effective method of treating both joint and muscular dysfunctions. These techniques will give you the edge you need to stand yourself apart from other therapists.
