The EMMETT Technique is both gentle and generally pain free. It is based on the principle that light touch can trigger a neurological reaction therefore inducing a relaxation response in the soft tissue of the body and thus releasing tension. This results in feelings of improved comfort and many people report feeling more at ease within their body and that their emotional well-being is enhanced.
The relaxing nature of the technique results in people reporting typical responses such as:
- Decreased levels of pain and discomfort within the area treated
- Improved body movement and balance
- More restful sleep
- Enhanced mood
- A sense of lightness within their “body”.
Key features of EMMETT Technique treatments:
- Accurate and fast assessments of body imbalances
- Can be done sitting, lying or standing
- Stand-alone Emmett sessions are usually carried out fully clothed, although tight clothing may have to be loosened. Light, loose clothing is recommended
- Suitable for everyone from babies, during pregnancy, for the elderly and everyone in between
The use of this therapy will be guided by the specific needs of the individual client, through assessment and observation.
