Muscle Energy Techniques Summary

Muscle Energy Techniques by Leon Chaitow

This book describes the basis and practice of MET ie those manipulative techniques in which a patient, on request, actively uses his or her muscles from a controlled position in a specific direction against a distinct counterforce applied by the practitioner. This is now a widely recognised approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. It combines methods used in physical therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and manual medicine. The text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the techniques. The DVD-ROM includes video clips to demonstrate the application of the techniques and so supports and supplements the text.
