The EMMETT Technique, developed by Ross Emmett, is an effective, gentle and
safe muscle release therapy. It can be used as a standalone approach or as part
of a bespoke treatment to address pain and discomfort, improve body movement,
restore a positive emotional outlook and improve quality of life.
It
involves the application of light finger pressure at specific points on the body
to release tension in muscle and muscle groups. Particular language skills are
incorporated to reinforce and anchor the positive physical changes.
The
EMMETT Technique is a very flexible therapy in that clients can be treated
seated, standing or lying and the techniques applied directly on the skin or
through clothing. This is the opposite of a “no pain, no gain” approach, as the
body responds to this subtle touch in a similar way to the workings of a
touch-screen, changing muscle tension and action.
