By its very nature, Massage Therapy is faced with a fundamental problem; what do you do when you have wonderful skills and can work the soft tissue loose to the spine, only to have the muscular restrictions re-manifest because the frame was bent and twisted underneath the soft tissue, and the soft tissue has compressed for the same reason that it did in the first place?  For me, this was a frustrating phenomenon and it started my search for something better, which lead me to Muscle Energy Technique.  Using MET, it is indeed possible to straighten the frame under the soft tissue so that I can obtain a superior soft tissue releases from my work because the body is programmed to return to stasis if the causative factors for dysfunction are removed.  We have developed a soft-tissue-driven version of MET that is designed for hard-working soft tissue therapists.
