Neck pain is a pervasive condition with primarily musculoskeletal causes. This activity discusses the role of clinicians in evaluating and treating patients with cervical muscle energy techniques. These conditions are characterized by heightened muscle tension, sensitivity changes, asymmetry, and restricted range of motion. The MET approach directly engages dysfunctional muscles during treatment, effectively managing various somatic dysfunctions. Participants gain insights into MET’s physiological principles, including post-isometric relaxation, crossed reflex, extensor reflex, isolytic lengthening, isokinetic strengthening, joint mobilization using muscle force, respiratory assistance, oculocephalic reflex, and reciprocal inhibition. Additionally, participants will gain an understanding of the etiology of neck pain and its various contributing factors. This activity highlights the significance of manual and exercise therapies in treating neck pain and the pivotal role played by clinicians in applying MET to correct somatic dysfunctions, offering valuable insights into enhancing patient care and outcomes.
