Hi there,
We are running the Muscle Energy Technique (MET-Rx) course in Melbourne on the 15-16 November and in Perth on the 22-23 November. We do offer students a 10% discount off all our courses with promo code STUDENT.
Please find the course information below;
Muscle energy techniques (MET) are a combination of mobilisation and contract-relax techniques combined and applied to treating musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Used in manual and physical therapy, METs treat somatic dysfunction, especially decreased range of motion, muscular hypertonicity and pain. METs are a direct and active technique as they engage a restrictive barrier and require the patient’s participation for maximal effect.
METs can significantly decrease disability and improve functionality in patients with disorders such as whiplash, neck pain, thoracic spine and rib pain, along with low back and pelvic pain.
This course introduces the muscle energy system in evaluation and treatment of the lumbar spine, pelvis, and sacrum. Learn the history and framework of MET, palpation skills, anatomy, surface anatomy review, biomechanics of the lumbar, pelvis and sacral areas, and treatment of these areas using muscle energy and soft tissue techniques.
By the end of this course will be able to confidently assess pelvic, sacral, and lumbar dysfunctions. The course emphasises a hands-on clinical approach as well as self mobilisation and home exercise programs.

Hope this helps.
Good luck with your study.
