Series Description

Muscle Energy Technique was introduced by Fred Mitchell Sr., D.O. as an approach to correct spinal ‘lesions’ which affect spinal motion and contribute to other problems. This approach was founded upon the work of other Osteopathic physicians. Since 1970 Sharon W. Giammatteo has contributed to the body of knowledge and skills development in the field of biomechanics. Using the foundations of Muscle Energy Technique, which was presented first as a three-plane approach to correct somatic joint dysfunction, she presents her unique development of joint assessment, diagnostics and treatment of pelvis, sacrum, spine rib and extremity dysfunction in this Muscle Energy and ’Beyond’ Technique series.

The majority of the techniques presented in these seminars are developed by S. W. Giammatteo. Philosophies regarding posture, biomechanics, pre-testing and post-testing are developed by her as well. When Muscle Energy and ‘Beyond’ Techniques are utilized from this series, remarkable improvements in postural alignment, muscle tone, joint mobility, joint balance, ranges of motion and pain-free function result.
