Post-isometric relaxation is the most commonly used muscle energy technique (MET) in osteopathic medicine for improving thoracic spine restriction. MET is used by osteopathic physicians as a conservative, nonpharmacological treatment method for somatic dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system. MET is a form of manual therapy and stretching. The patient actively contracts muscles in a precise direction while the therapist provides counterforce resistance. Isometric contractions relax and lengthen muscles. This activity discusses the procedural method for using MET with post-isometric relaxation to treat the thoracic spine’s somatic dysfunction, the relevant anatomy and physiology, and its indications and contraindications.
