Muscle Energy Technique
Muscle Energy Technique is a form of massage therapy that utilizes the patient's muscle contractions and body positioning to normalize joint motion. It was originally developed by Dr. Fred Mitchell, a senior osteopathic physician, and his son Dr. Fred Mitchell, Jr.

Osteopathy is a system of medicine following the theory that disturbances in the musculoskeletal system affect other parts of the body, causing many disorders that can be corrected by various techniques including manipulation.  Cranio-sacral therapy and muscle energy technique are both used by Osteopaths.  Osteopathy was one of the first professions to incorporate biomechanical analysis.  This involves determining how injuries occur and what the effects are likely to be.
