Experimental
Arm Label
Graston technique.
muscle energy technique
Arm Description
The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization
Muscle Energy Technique (MET), uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle
