Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) in Kilsyth

Muscle Energy Techniques

What Are Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)?

Muscle Energy Techniques, commonly known as MET, are a hands-on treatment technique used to
improve flexibility, reduce muscle tightness, restore joint movement, and improve overall mobility.
MET involves the gentle contraction and relaxation of specific muscles against resistance provided
by the practitioner. These techniques are commonly used to help lengthen tight muscles, reduce
stiffness, and improve movement patterns throughout the body.
At our Kilsyth clinic, Muscle Energy Techniques are commonly used by our qualified Myotherapist
to help people experiencing muscular tightness, reduced mobility, postural tension, and movement
restrictions.

How Do Muscle Energy Techniques Work?

Muscle Energy Techniques work by using controlled muscle contractions followed by stretching or
repositioning techniques.
This may help:

  • Reduce muscle tightness
  • Improve flexibility and mobility
  • Restore joint movement
  • Improve posture and movement patterns
  • Reduce stiffness and restriction
  • Improve muscular function
  • Support recovery from exercise and training

MET is commonly combined with soft tissue massage, myotherapy, stretching, and other hands-on
treatment techniques.
