Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), Eddie O’Grady Physical Therapy, Tralee
“A Muscle Energy Technique is defined as a form of soft-tissue treatment in which the patient’s muscles are actively used, on request, from a precisely controlled position, in a specific direction, and against a distinctly executed therapist-applied counterforce. The key defining element of MET is the use of an isometric contraction before subsequent relaxation and stretching or movement of restricted tissues.”

MET is particularly useful for competitors and athletes and helps to:
