Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a method of stretching muscle fibres using active resistance by the client against a force applied by the therapist. Adam has developed a unique method of incorporating MET into the massage treatment which can effectively lengthen shortened muscles and the associated connective tissue as well as relieving trigger points.

Because MET uses voluntary effort from the client to contract muscles, higher brain functions can be used to reprogram neurological patterns of habitual muscle tension, helping to improve muscle function. MET dramatically transforms Adam's role from a practitioner who gives treatment to a practitioner who works with the patient.

 Benefits of MET:

• Helps realign and strengthen connective tissue fibres
• Lengthens shortened tissues
• Increases range of motion in joints
• Can dramatically change chronic pain patterns
• Stimulates synthesis of new cells to repair injured tissue
• Balances the strength of muscles crossing joints thus evenly distributes pressure through the joint.
• Promotes fluid dynamics deep within the body to disperse stagnation and promote re-oxygenation and the elimination of waste products.
• Can be used on just about every muscle in the body.
• You do not need to dress down for MET. It can be done just as effectively in loose fitting clothes.

MET can produce beneficial results in just a few sessions and repeated sessions will often not be required for specific injuries. 

However, MET can also be a very effective way to release the stresses of everyday life which are often manifested by muscular tightness in our bodies. Some patients may therefore benefit from regular MET sessions which Adam is pleased to be able to offer at a multiple session discount. Click here for more details.
