Reviews of the DVDs”Tom Ockler P.T. has produced a teaching DVD for the Osteopathic originated Muscle Energy Technique (MET) that is clearly articulated, elegantly demonstrated, and has what most teaching DVDs overlook … repetition of the basic concepts enough times that the viewer has the time, space, and opportunity to lock in the concepts in preview to taking an actual hands-on course or, for a former student, the same, to reflect on their kinesthetic experience … adding a depth of cognitive understanding with a review of the positional set-ups and language that is unique to this exquisite approach to somatic dysfunction. This DVD is the best that I have seen in my 25 years of teaching this approach to dedicated manual therapy practitioners and using MET within my clinical practice. His teaching integrates humor, humanity, and expertise in his delivery. I will be encouraging my students to purchase this DVD series.”Respectfully, Dale G. Alexander Ph.D. M.A. L.M.T.   (Student of Richard MacDonald D.O., who was among the first 16 Osteopaths directly taught by the developer of Muscle Energy Technique, Dr. Fred Mitchell Sr. D.O. in the mid-1960s. Co-author with Dr. MacDonald of the first Muscle Energy Workbook for the Upledger Institute in 1989. Certified Muscle Energy Instructor for the Upledger Institute, 1989 – 94.)”Thomas’ videos are very easy to learn from. He has a way of explaining the details so they are easily understood. His videos are very informative with a real client who actually has some of the problems that the MET he is demonstrating will help.”   Aurora G., LMT Tom Ockler, P.T. is a highly sought after international presenter who gives seminars demonstrating his techniques to eliminate musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.uploaded by presveti
