Goals of muscle energy technique
|
- Strengthen the weaker side of asymmetry
- Decrease hypertonicity - Lengthen muscle fibers - Reduce the restraint of movement - Alter related respiratory and circulatory function |
|
2 physiological principles of muscle energy
|
- Postisometric relaxation - increased tension on Golgi organ proprioceptors in the tendons - inhibits active muscles contraction
- Reciprocal inhibition - used when antagonistic muscles are contracted |
|
Contraindications for muscle energy technique
