Emmett Therapy

Emmett Therapy is a gentle, highly effective technique for addressing chronic pain and improving mobility. It involves applying light pressure to specific points on the body, known as "Emmett points," which correspond to areas of muscle memory and tension. These points help reset the body's muscle memory, facilitating a natural release of pain and restriction. The therapy is particularly beneficial for chronic pain conditions because it works on a neuromuscular level, targeting the brain's connection with the muscles. This allows the body to "unlearn" painful patterns and restore balance.

Some key benefits of Emmett Therapy for chronic pain include:

• Immediate Relief: Many clients experience noticeable improvement after just one session.
• Non-Invasive: The technique is gentle and does not require forceful manipulation.
• Holistic Impact: It addresses both physical and emotional factors contributing to pain.
• Adaptability: Suitable for all age groups and adaptable to individual needs.
• Supports Other Therapies: Emmett Therapy can be used alongside other modalities, such as massage, physiotherapy, or chiropractic treatments.

The Emmett Technique is a unique body therapy created by Ross Emmett. It is a recognised technique used to ease pain and discomfort, increase movement and improve quality of life.

How does it work?

The Emmett Technique is an understanding of the body’s response to light touch. It has been suggested that the body reacts in a similar way to the workings of a touch screen. Small sensors allow access to the brain via the therapists’ touch. As well as the ability to directly influence muscle action, these points may have a memory and emotional attachment.

Symptoms which have been relieved.

• Neck and shoulder restriction and referred discomfort
• Lymphatic congestion and breathing
• Migraines or cluster headaches

What should you expect?

You may be asked some questions about your general health and the reason for your visit. Treatments maybe done while you are fully clothed, although you may need to adjust some clothing. Patients are encouraged to wear loose comfortable clothing to a treatment.

How long is a treatment?

Treatment times may vary according to the injury being treated. While individual experiences may vary, relief is often instantaneous.

The synergy of Emmett Therapy and Breathwork

The combination of Emmett Therapy and breathwork creates a powerful synergy. As the physical touch of Emmett Therapy releases tension and unlocks areas of stress, breathwork supports this release by oxygenating the body and calming the nervous system. Together, they create a holistic approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of stress.
