Patient Success Stories
On average, MET therapists will achieve a minimum of 30% better performance, as compared to therapists using more conventional therapeutic techniques. MET patients can see and feel the difference.

What is Medical Exercise Therapy?
Medical exercise therapy or therapeutic exercise needs to be distinguished from general exercises which are performed at a gym or wellness center. Although general exercises are beneficial for overall health and well-being and are encouraged for all, therapeutic exercises are specific and delivered by a healthcare provider.

Why all therapists should use a dynamometer in their practice
You would never hire a carpenter to build your house if he told you he never uses a tape measure. Without using a dynamometer to measure the starting resistance of an exercise, therapists are only able to approximate a patient's performance. This introduces a high degree of variation in the effectiveness of therapy and often sub-optimizes patient outcomes. By using a standardized system of measuring techniques and measuring devices, MET therapists can precisely quantify patient performance and target improvements against established performance benchmarks measured in healthy patients. On average, MET therapists using a hand-held dynamometer will achieve a minimum of 30% better performance, as compared to therapists using only Manual Muscle Testing (MMT)

Why MET Achieves Better Outcomes
The success of any therapeutic exercise program greatly depends on 2 factors: 1. The ability to capture all the components that contribute to movement and function. 2. The ability to bring sufficient intensity to the therapeutic exercise program without exacerbation of symptoms. Both factors need to be accomplished to achieve meaningful improvements and ultimately achieve optimal outcomes including the reduction and resolution of symptoms.
Is Your Therapist Practicing MET?
Ask your rehab provider the following questions: 1. Are you using outcome measures in 4 outcome domains? 2. Which outcome measures are you using in each outcome domain? 3. Which improvements do I need to achieve in the outcome measures, so I am assured that I am making progress (ask for specific numbers)?
