Muscle Energy Technique is one of the most effective and gentle manual techniques for the correction of somatic dysfunction. MET uses accurate assessment techniques to discover if a joint is stuck out of alignment. Then the practitioner positions the patient and asks for gentle resistance in such a way that the joint is brought back into alignment, and the tight muscle relaxed. This technique can be incorporated easily into any treatment protocol, and is an excellent addition to any practice. This beautifully produced 2 DVD Set covers the pelvis, sacrum and lumbar spine, as well as neck, general shoulder techniques, and specific treatments for the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs. Included are corrections for a pelvis upslip, downslip, rotations, inflair and outflair and pubic bone dysfunctions. It also covers Sacral rotations, and unilateral flexion/extension dysfunctions. The lumbar section covers one or multiple vertebrae stuck in flexion or extensions. In addition to all this, there is also a section on using muscle energy to balance and relax all the muscles surrounding the hips. Also taught are techniques for balancing the occiput on the atlas, the atlas on the axis, and other techniques for the rest of the cervical vertebrae. Also, Tom shows techniques to assess and re-align each thoracic vertebrae, and how to correct rib dysfunctions such as ribs that are stuck in inhalation, exhilation, and compressed ribs. On the muscular side, this DVD shows many releases for the neck/shoulder region that can be done before the joints are addressed. Tom Ockler P.T. has extensive teaching experience throughout the United States, Canada, England and Australia. He was a past Associate Instructor with the Upledger Foundation, teaching in their Muscle Energy & Strain Counter-Strain programs.

It just can't get any better than this!
This is an amazing educational video. The production is beyond first rate. The teaching and very clear visuals of anatomy and direction of force make this otherwise difficult subject very approachable. I'm studying these videos prior to attending Tom Ockler's courses. These are hands down the best educational video I have ever seen.

Just what I needed
These DVDs were used by my wife who is a licensed massage therapist. She was able to expand her repertoire and bring more immediate relief to her clients.She says ... "Awesome. Very explanatory. User Friendly and so easy to implement and use the techniques."She eagerly awaits the lower body installment in the series.

Love the DVDs
I took both of Tom's classes when he traveled to Springfield, OH. These DVDs are an excellent source for remembering the techniques and very effective for correcting joint alignment caused by soft tissue dysfunctions.

Excellent! but not the whole answer.
Exceptionally clear explanations and demonstrations. A great teacher with a wealth of knowledge. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that, as good as the techniques are, he seems to imply that muscle energy techniques are the answer to virtually all osseous dysfunction without at least mentioning that there are other very useful modalities that deal with fascial, movement training and other associated issues. I do hightly recommend, especially to bodyworks who specialize in specific therapeutic work, but would be a bit mechanistic for someone who does primarily massage work or works at a spa, although the understanding behind the techniques is really fantastic and can't help but improve anyone's work either for understanding boney articulations or as an adjunct to other modalities.
