💜Today I completed a brilliant Muscle Energy Technique (MET) course with Sue Croft of Teach Therapy, and I’m genuinely excited about what this means for anyone who trains, stretches, or spends long hours sitting.
So, what is MET?
Muscle Energy Technique is a gentle, targeted approach where you actively contract specific muscles while I guide the movement, helping muscles safely stretch further . This helps the body release tension more effectively than passive stretching — especially in stubborn, overworked, or shortened muscles.
Who benefits the most?
🏃♂️ Runners & athletes
Perfect for easing tight calves, hamstrings, quads, and hip flexors — all of which can restrict stride, power, and pelvic mobility. MET helps restore balance and smoother, more efficient movement.
💪 Pilates lovers
Flexible, responsive muscles make technique cleaner and movement more controlled. MET supports better alignment through the hips, glutes, quads, and core muscles.
🧘♀️ Yogis
If deep poses feel limited by tight hips, hamstrings, pecs, or traps, MET helps soften those restrictions so you can move deeper without forcing a stretch.
💻 Office workers & long-sitters
Sitting shortens the hip flexors and tightens the psoas, pecs, traps, and even the quads. MET gently releases these areas to reduce that compressed, stiff feeling through the back, chest, and hips.
🌿 And truly — anyone who feels tight or needs effective stretching
MET works with your nervous system, not against it. This makes it ideal for releasing tension in:
Calves
Hamstrings
Quads
Hip flexors & psoas
Pecs
Traps
… and many more muscles that respond beautifully to this technique.
🌿 Why MET is so effective:
Releases stubborn muscle tightness without force
Improves flexibility and range of motion
Reduces strain caused by sitting or overuse
Supports better performance in any form of exercise
Helps balance the body for smoother, pain-free movement
Blends perfectly with massage and other hands-on treatments
I’m excited to integrate MET into treatments to help you move with more ease, strength, and comfort.
