Muscle Energy Work (MET)

Home / Services / Muscle Energy Work (MET)

MET is a contract/relax technique that works primarily with joint alignment.  The technique is very specific and gentle enough for clients aged 6 to 86, it uses your own body to reeducate muscles that aren’t working, giving a little nudge or stimulation to an area that has forgotten its job.

MET is quick and effective for:

  • Low back pain – often because of misalignment
  • Sacral-iliac (SI) joint pain
  • Neck pain and headaches, particularly if there is restricted movement
  • Hip rotation or misalignment
  • Pubic bone or hip pain for pregnant women

People are often surprised at how quickly they feel better especially because the touch is so light.

I consider myself very fortunate to have found Gaelen through a mutual friend. As someone with chronic and complex needs, I need a massage therapist who is both intuitive and highly skilled, and Gaelen is definitely both of these. She has moved beyond traditional means of massage therapy to equip herself with highly developed skills in different techniques and anatomy based courses as well as energetic modalities. She also has a great sense of humour. And we both love dogs” ~ Liz
