Posterior Innominate
Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
Purpose: To treat a posteriorly rotated innominate in SI dysfunction.
Start: The patient starts in hooklying with the involved side dropped off of the plinth.
Procedure: The therapist stands between the patient’s legs with a staggered stance. The therapist can support the involved leg on their thigh. The therapist uses one hand to stabilize the patient on the contralateral ASIS, and the other hand is placed just proximal to the knee on the affected side. The therapist pushes down on the affected leg and instructs the patient to meet the resistance. This submaximal contraction is held for 5-10 sec for 3-5 sets with roughly 20 seconds of rest between.
