Muscle Energy Techniques
Part of the Bodymaster Method® Diploma
This Muscle Energy Techniques online course is a must for any therapist or student in the field of sports therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, yoga, pilates and functional anatomy.
I'm the creator of the Bodymaster Method® Diploma. I've years of experience lecturing post-graduate professionals worldwide to become the 'go-to' therapist in their area. My courses are built on everything I have learned as an osteopath, writer, researcher and lecturer. The Bodymaster method® is different from what you learned at university. At university, you are taught to look at the site of pain, possibly perform hands-on therapy, and load the tissue with eccentric loading. The Bodymaster method® teaches you to look at your client as a whole person, not just the site of pain.
What students on the
Bodymaster Method® courses have said...
In this course you’ll learn how to identify specific soft tissue dysfunction and weakness within the musculo-skeletal system, and how to harness powerful Muscle Energy Techniques to restore function to your patients.
Author and lecturer John Gibbons brings years of expertise and this will be demonstrated during this course. First he will teach you the theory of METs, then, once that has been understood, he takes you on a Muscle Energy Technique ‘journey’. After demonstrating functional assessment testing for the postural muscles that typically become chronically tight and dysfunctional, he demonstrates how to apply specific METs to correct these dysfunctional muscles and restore normality.
