Muscle Energy Technique
Muscle Energy Technique was developed by Fred Mitchell, Sr., D.O., and is based on the principle of reciprocal inhibition and, on post-contraction relaxation when applied indirectly. Muscle Energy Technique is basically an electro-physiological trick that encourages muscles to relax more quickly than normal. The technique helps to lengthen a shortened spastic muscle or increase muscle tension and increase muscle strength. Muscle Energy Technique can be used to treat almost all the joints in the body, in a safe and effective manner.
