Muscle Energy Testing is a safe and pain free way for relieving muscle tension and pain. This technique focuses on identifying specific muscle that need to be stretched. Then, by using a special way of stretching the muscle, pain and tension can be relived. MET may also give you an increased range of motion. I have found this technique is very good for alleviating low back pain.
MET can be used by itself or in conjunction with maSsge.

POSTURE, POSTURE POSTURE
After feeling ill for about five days I suddenly found that my low back was hurting. After palpating the area I knew the pain was muscle related; however, I could not figure out how I had injured it. Then it came to me! While not feeling well I sat slumped in front of the television much of the time.
Its amazing how much posture can play a part in aches and pains.So, its always important to monitor what you are doing. Be aware of how you are standing and sitting. It can be the difference between pain and no pain.
