This is an interactive 1 day hands-on tutor led course aimed at active therapists. The end goal is to provide therapists with the confidence and know how to integrate Muscle Energy Techniques (MET’s) into their existing treatment protocols, while gaining improved positive results for clients presenting symptoms; in addition the techniques contribute towards maintenance, prevention of injury and postural alignment.
This course will describe and expand on the principles of usage and the effective delivery of the techniques.
