Who is this Course for?
This course is designed for clinicians who want to develop or refine their use of Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) in practice.
It is particularly suitable for:
-
Osteopaths and chiropractors
-
Physiotherapists and sports therapists
-
Manual therapists working with MSK conditions
-
Clinicians looking for low-force, highly controlled treatment techniques
The course is suitable for practitioners working within their professional scope of practice.
Why this Matters
Muscle Energy Techniques are a core manual therapy approach, used to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension and restore movement.
However, many clinicians:
-
Use MET inconsistently or without clear structure
-
Lack confidence in positioning, force direction or progression
-
Miss opportunities to apply MET across different body regions
At its core, MET is about precision, control and patient participation, not force.
This course provides a clear, practical framework for applying MET techniques effectively in clinical practice.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
-
Understand the principles behind Muscle Energy Techniques
-

-
Improve range of motion and reduce muscle hypertonicity
-
