Muscle Energy Technique. Muscle energy technique (or MET) is based on the principle of reciprocal inhibition, a theory that explains that muscles on one side of a joint will always relax to accommodate the contraction of muscles on the other side of that joint when indirect pressure is applied.he muscle contraction is performed by the client 2 or 3 times in a row in the hopes to stretch the muscle further each time.
