𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 (MET) is a form of manual therapy that has been around since the 1940’s. It uses short, medium effort contractions of a muscle/muscle group, followed by a brief period of relaxation and a subsequent 30-second lengthening phase. In this post, we discuss the benefits of MET techniques used in a massage treatment.

This blog contains the direct physical benefits with clarity, as well as one surprising indirect and less thought of, but equally powerful benefit to sustained trigger point release with a therapeutic massage ball.
