EMMETT THERAPY
"Light touch can trigger a relaxation response in the soft tissues of the body"
WHAT IS EMMETT ?
Emmett Therapy is used to ease pain and discomfort, increase muscle movement, and improve quality of life. Developed by Ross Emmett, the Emmett Technique is an internationally recognised practice taught in over 40 countries worldwide.
​
The EMMETT Technique is a unique form of body relaxation therapy for both people and animals, involving the application of light finger pressure at specific points. It is based on the belief that light touch can trigger a relaxation response in the soft tissues of the body, and that the therapist may thereby help relieve feelings of tension.
Many people find they feel more at ease within their body and their emotional well being is enhanced. Animals appear more calm and at ease.
​
The result is often instantaneous feelings of greater comfort.
EMMETT is truly a complementary therapy
.
It may be applied in isolation but it also combines easily with all other bodywork and exercise specialities such as massage, chiropractic, physiotherapy, Bowen therapy, craniosacral therapy, yoga, Pilates and personal training as some typical examples.
