Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a gentle, hands-on osteopathic treatment used to improve movement, reduce muscle tightness, and ease joint pain.

When a muscle becomes tight or irritated, the nervous system increases its tone as a protective response. This ongoing tension can restrict joint movement, reduce circulation, and contribute to pain.

MET uses a gentle, controlled muscle contraction followed by relaxation. This helps reset muscle tone, reduce joint restriction, and restore more normal movement.
