Welcome to the Muscle Energy Technique community!

from the founders of MET

Muscle energy technique (MET) is a manual therapy technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It works by encouraging a patient to actively use their muscles to generate a force that is then resisted by the therapist. Active contraction and relaxation of a muscle can help restore normal function and flexibility of the muscles, joints, and other soft tissue structures in the body. MET is often used in combination with other manual therapies such as trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation.

Welcome to the Muscle Energy Technique Community

I’m Kai Mitchell, proud to carry forward a legacy that began over 75 years ago when my grandfather pioneered Muscle Energy Technique (MET). My father, Fred Mitchell, expanded that foundation, refining MET through clinical innovation and research. His groundbreaking work on muscle imbalances, joint function, and neuromuscular facilitation helped establish MET as a vital tool in therapeutic practice.

Now, I continue this tradition—teaching, mentoring, and guiding practitioners across the globe. Through hands-on workshops, in-depth seminars, and immersive training programs, I strive to pass on not just techniques, but the deeper understanding and philosophy behind MET. This community is a natural extension of that mission.

Our website is a comprehensive learning and networking space for anyone involved with MET—practitioners, students, educators, or curious newcomers. The forum is a place to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another in a collaborative, respectful environment. Whether you're troubleshooting a specific clinical case, exploring new approaches, or looking to connect with others on the same path, you’ll find the support you need here.

You'll also gain access to a growing library of resources, including detailed case studies, discussions on advanced techniques, and insights into the latest research. Stay ahead of developments in MET and deepen your practical knowledge with real-world examples and evolving best practices. This is also a space for mentorship—experienced clinicians offer guidance, feedback, and advice, helping newer members build confidence and skill.

We regularly host expert-led events such as webinars, virtual intensives, and live Q&A sessions. These offer deep dives into advanced concepts and provide valuable opportunities for continued education and professional networking. Whether you’re brushing up on fundamentals or exploring cutting-edge developments, there’s something for everyone.

But more than that, this community is about connection. Here, members share not just clinical insights, but personal stories—successes, challenges, and breakthroughs. It’s a place to celebrate growth, find encouragement, and collaborate on research or creative professional endeavors.

If you’re passionate about MET or just beginning to explore its potential, you’ve found the right place. Join us and be part of a thriving, supportive network of like-minded individuals committed to learning, sharing, and advancing this powerful therapeutic technique together.
