The fifth edition of this highly regarded manual for comprehending and applying Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) offers comprehensive guidelines for their applications, grounded in the latest scientific research and integrated within the framework of holistic healthcare. It serves as a comprehensive, evidence-based how-to guide for incorporating MET into the treatment of various musculoskeletal dysfunctions, aimed at alleviating pain and promoting functional movement. Accompanied by vibrant color illustrations and complemented by over 50 instructional videos showcasing Leon Chaitow demonstrating the techniques described, Muscle Energy Techniques 5e leads the reader through both theoretical concepts and practical applications, with a strong emphasis on evidence-informed clinical reasoning and practical implementation. This fifth edition reunites the international team of expert contributors originally assembled by Leon Chaitow to present the role of METs in diverse clinical settings and scenarios. These encompass the utilization of METs for addressing a wide array of acute and chronic pain conditions, the prevention and management of trauma and injuries in athletes, as well as their successful integration into physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathic, massage therapy, and rehabilitation environments. New chapters and sections seamlessly embed the use of METs within the biopsychosocial framework for holistic healthcare, aligning with the latest guidelines. Case studies and practical guidance are provided to enhance clinical practice. An entirely new research review chapter presents the latest findings supporting MET methodology, while also addressing considerations regarding evidence-informed practice, particularly in light of ongoing debates. An updated chapter on the history of MET explores the influence of historical context on clinical practice. Furthermore, increased emphasis is placed on pulsed MET techniques, and updated research on the role of isotonic exercises is presented.
