MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE
Muscle Energy is a technique developed to treat joint hypomobility(stiffness), and to restore proper biomechanical and physiological function to the joint.
The patient will undergo a full body screening evaluation for joint hypomobility.Results are prioritised and the most dominant dysfunction is dealt with first.
The therapy itself is direct and hands-on. It utilizes the patient's own gentle muscle contractions against a precisely controlled counterforce, and specific body positioning dictated by the therapist to normalize joint motion.
