Describes the basis and practice of muscle energy techniques (MET). This is now a widely recognised approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. It fuses methods used in physical therapy, osteopathy and manual medicine. The text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the techniques. The CD-ROM includes video clips to demonstrate the application of the techniques and so supports and supplements the text.
