Product Description 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 DVD covers detailed techniques for the neck, general shoulder techniques, and specific treatments for the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs. This includes 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. If you want to know how to assess each part of the body and then perform gentle techniques to correct the dysfunction, this dvd is for you! About the Actor Tom Ockler P.T. has extensive teaching experience throughout the United States, Canada, England and Australia.

Another excellent DVD by Tom Ockler
Picked this up after getting his first DVD, which was amazing. This one is just as good. I especially liked the cervical portion, which is relatively easy to learn!Indispensible techniques which cover a lot of ground.

Good job!
Tom Ockler di a great job but I wish he emphasize more on who to do the job when your a small therapist working on a big client. He didn't mentioned much about it....

This DVD was pretty good and i am happy i ordered it ( both DVD's)As a PT and manual therapist with over 18 years of experience in the field i recommend it strongly.You must have some experience though and a solid understanding of surface anatomy and muscle groups and how they function.Quality of the DVD is very good and the instructor describes everything straight forward and easy to understand .
