Can anyone share their thoughts and opinions on MET courses they have taken. Best, worst, valuable, etc. .

I'd take a look at the research on the biomechanical model that many MET assessments are based on. Some of it is pretty questionable. No real outcome studies to back up its efficacy, either.

IMHO, I'd look at another school of thought. The evidence in motion courses (evidenceinmotion.com) are quite good, are taught by some of our professions top researchers and clinicians, and offer some of the most up to date research to back up their treatment approach.

You may want to look at the Michigan State series. Mark Bookhout is a PT out of the Minneapolis area that teaches some of the courses at Michigan State does a 3 day course on his own. I am not sure if he has a schedule or teaches by request only. Mark came to our clinic for a 3 day course on lumbo-sacral spine www.ptosi.com is Mark's clinic website. Mark is very knowledgeable and entertaining. The Michigan State website is www.com.msu.edu/cme/index.html.

I liked the IPA courses and the courses by IMTS as well.

LOL FLA.... Gadget Man, have you been hittting the beach and barley beverages or what? LOL I believe that was the worst post ever written by you! Am I the only one lost?
We learned MET in grad school and I haven't taken a course on it since then.
