Who do you know?
We have received several email and Facebook requests from Practitioners for MET courses to be held in the Southeast.  If you know a clinic that would like to host a course in 2013, please contact Tom.
Host A Course

Hosting an MET course of your own can be a big advantage in several ways:


It is a cost effective way to satisfy CEU requirements for the company.

You save thousands of dollars on your CEU expeditures.

You make a nice profit for your clinic - usually $2000-$3000.

It's easier than you think.

"Thank you so much for teaching the way therapists think! I have been very intimidated by cervical and would not even consider touching a thoracic vertebrae and now I can not wait to try!"

Email Questions 

Q:  Tom, enjoyed your seminar M1 very much. I am not sure where to put the monitoring fingers for something like R on R Sacral Torison. I guess that would be the Left Sulcus, am I right?

Matt H, PT

 

A:  Matt, Absolutely correct! Since it is R on R this is a forward torsion and therefore is stuck forward on the L (deep sulcus). With everything we treat with MET, it is the stuck-hypo-mobile joint / bone that you palpate while doing the technique. EXCELLENT, You have learned well young Skywalker!!

Our Seminars

Thomas K. Ockler, PT

 

For those of you who have taken Muscle Energy courses before and are still struggling...  Or if you have never taken a Muscle Energy course because you heard it was too hard... These are the courses 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. 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, the beauty of Muscle Energy is that it works through an evidence-based neuro physiologic principle.  And that is
the joints are held out of place by muscles that have too much tone. 

 

In his 34 years of clinical practice, Tom Ockler P.T. has had extensive teaching experience throughout the United States, Canada, England and Australia.  

 

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 five teaching manuals have been hailed by students as the "most user-friendly and useful Muscle Energy manuals ever."
