Home > Muscle Energy Techniques
Muscle Energy Techniques incorporate an active and direct engagement of agonistic muscles, designed to stretch the reciprocal or antagonistic muscles. This form of therapy can be used to repair damaged muscles and to exercise and stretch muscles that have atrophied or become unusable. Muscle Energy Techniques are especially beneficial when used in treatment of stroke patients and those suffering from muscle spasms. Muscle Energy Techniques grew out of osteopathic research and study, and can be used safely on almost any muscle in the body.
Muscle Energy Techniques are extensively used in sports medicine as both a healing therapy and a preventative measure against future straining of muscles, joints and ligaments. Athletes and dancers are particular beneficiaries of Muscle Energy Techniques.
