Abstract:

In recent years muscle energy technique has been increasingly accepted into mainstream manual therapy worldwide. The muscle energy system of segmental spinal lesion diagnosis and treatment is predicated upon a model of spinal physiologic motion that was first outlined in the early 20th century. Current literature questions certain assumptions inherent within this model of spinal physiologic motion and, as a consequence, the system of segmental lesion diagnosis predicated upon it. The implications for assessment of spinal somatic dysfunction using this model are examined and an outline of what can reasonably be said about coupled spinal motion, in the light of current literature, is reviewed.
