Muscle Energy Techniques is a must for any student in the field of
sports therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, yoga,
Pilates and functional anatomy, and will also appeal to anybody
qualified in physical therapy. This practical guide, packed full of
colour photographs, illustrates the theory and practice of muscle
energy techniques (MET). The principles described can be
incorporated very quickly and effectively into a treatment plan,
and can be used to assist in the rehabilitation of anyone who is
recovering from an injury. In particular, this book will provide
the therapist with the underpinning knowledge of the specific
anatomy of the postural muscles that can become dysfunctionally
shortened. Author John Gibbons brings years of expertise - he
lectures in the field of sports medicine and physical therapy and
works with elite-level and Olympic athletes in a wide range of
sporting disciplines. In the book he looks at the theory of MET
and, once that has been understood, he takes you on a muscle energy
technique 'journey'. After demonstrating functional assessment
testing for the muscles of 'posture' that can become chronically
tight and dysfunctional, he shows how to apply a specific MET to
correct these dysfunctional muscles to restore normality. The book
contains easy to follow 'postural muscle' tables that you can use
to monitor the progress of your patients.
