Workshop snapshot
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a method of stretching muscles that is widely used by sports massage therapists and fitness instructors. Similar to Proprioreceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) this technique is gentle, yet hugely effective.

The big picture
With Jane Johnson, Chartered Physiotherapist, learn to perform MET on muscles all over the body, in supine, prone and sitting, and see how this facilitates an increase in joint range and lengthening of muscle tissue.
Learn how to use MET for clients with a stiff neck, tight pectorals, tight hip flexors, calves, and hamstrings.
Use it on the upper limbs following immobilisation, or for treating clients with adhesive capsulitis.
