Background: Muscle energy techniques are widely used by osteopaths and other manual therapists, there is limited research supporting and validating its use, there is a demand on research to find out efficacy of MET over static stretching technique in improving flexibility. Thus, there was an effort taken to prove the effectiveness of MET in improving calf muscle flexibility.
Study Design: Experimental Study
Method: Forty normal individuals were selected and assigned randomly into two groups; Group-I and Group-II (of twenty subjects each) who received a Muscle energy technique and Static stretching for calf muscles respectively.
Result: This study implies that MET and static stretching both can be equally preferred for relieving the tightness developed in the muscles, but the MET is more effective, and it can be considered as a training programme in the field of sports physiotherapy.
Keywords:
MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE (MET), Static Stretching.
