Muscle Energy

Ever feel like you are carrying a lot of tension in you muscles? Common places are your jaw, shoulders, fists, and pelvis. This tension can be hard to let go of sometimes but there are some tricks to doing so! Muscle energy techniques utilize Post Isometric Relaxation and Reciprocal Inhibition. 

Post Isometric Relaxation is the decrease in muscle tone after a brief period of isometric contraction of that muscle. 

Reciprocal inhibition describes the relaxation of muscles on one side of a joint to accommodate contraction on the other side.

By using these two physiological phenomenon we will get rid of that tension you've been storing up in no time!
