Seminars
For those of you who have taken Muscle Energy courses before and are still struggling...
If you have never taken a Muscle Energy course because you heard it was too hard...
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!
Muscle Energy Technique is one of the most effective and valuable manual techniques for the identification and correction of somatic asymmetry and hypomobility. Fred Mitchell Sr. D.O., who is considered the patriarch of Muscle Energy Technique, was a pioneer in forward thinking as he searched to develop an alternative to manipulative therapies. These techniques have been refined over the years and are even more accurate, efficient and effective than in their original form. These techniques can be used immediately to find and correct the causes of all types of pain. These are not cover up procedures, but rather techniques that cure the problem with dramatic results.
Unlike manipulative therapies, which presume joints are stuck out of place by some physiologic glue, Muscle Energy is based on evidence-based neuro-physiological principles that the joints are held out of place by muscles which have too much tone. Tom Ockler P.T. has extensive teaching experience throughout the United States, Canada, England and Australia. He was a past Associate Instructor with the Upledger Foundation, teaching in their Muscle Energy and Strain Counter-Strain programs. As a teacher, Tom has earned the nickname "The Patch Adams of Physical Therapy" due to his unique style of injecting humor into complicated subjects. He has developed teaching methods that explain very complicated subjects in easily understandable formats. His two books Muscle Energy Technique for Lower Extremities, Pelvis, Sacrum, and Lumbar Spine and Muscle Energy Techniques for the Thoracic Spine, Ribs, Shoulder and Cervical Spine have been hailed by students as the most user friendly and useful Muscle Energy manuals ever. What are students saying about "Really liked the information and presentation style. Open and approachable instructor. Many techniques to take back to work. Thanks so much! Best course I've ever taken." - Julie M, Willoughby OH "Thank you for the sense of humor, personal testimonies and experience! I appreciate your "rounded" education and open mind to many styles and techniques. " - Melissa W, Stevens Point WI "Very usable info! I feel I can use this info immediately! Look forward to another course taught by you!" - Mary S, Stevens Point WI "Awesome course for my first time learning about MET. Easy to understand. It all made sense! Will use this tomorrow in the clinic." - Kim B, Toledo OH" "Have taken SI courses in the past, and this information was much clearer and easier to comprehend." - Denise W, Toledo OH" "This was the first course I've attended for MET that actually made sense." "We laughed as we learned...what a concept!" "I have been in practice since 1996 and I have been to several courses and have been disappointed. This course is by far the best course I have ever attended..." "Great presentation skills. Great sense of humor [with] presentation." "This course was very inspiring for me. I can't wait to get started." 2010 Courses
