Emm-Tech courses - Easy Muscle Management for Every Body

Judith is now able to offer courses in South Wales for people who are interested in learning a number of very useful procedures to help with neck, shoulder, leg, grip and balance restrictions.

This course is open to non-therapists as well as those therapists wanting to experience the Emmett technique. The following is an excerpt from the Emmett technique UK website:

Emm-Tech short course
Easy Muscle Management for EveryBody

The Emm-Tech short course was created by Ross Emmett so that non-therapists would have the opportunity to use some of his work to help friends and family.

Ross has licensed several qualified Emmett Therapists in the UK to act as Tutors for the Emm-Tech course and courses are held at different locations throughout the UK.  The course is of eight hours duration, arranged into two four hour sessions which are usually from one day to two weeks apart.  No prior experience is necessary, so the course can be taken by anyone.  It is of particular interest to Sports Coaches and Trainers; Carers for the Elderly; General Carers; parents or as a taster for therapists who may be considering taking the professional qualification.

This course does not, on its own, constitute a professional qualification and participants are advised to seek professional help where appropriate.
 

If YOU are interested to find out more then please contact Judith direct through this website in the first instance.

More details will be following shortly on a new Emm-Tech page ..........

One Year on ......

The expansion of Every Body's Better means that more people from a wider area of South Wales, have been helped by Bowen & Emmett techniques.

Talk to any busy therapist and they will tell you that clients tend to come in 'groups'. How this works no one can say for certain - but this first year of Every Body's Better has shown a definite trend towards helping people with neck pain or restriction; frozen shoulders and tennis elbows. I would say approximately 50% of new clients have been to see me for these problems.

The other 40% have had a range of problems from Sciatica; Knee pain; Chronic Fatigue; Parkinson's Disease; upper & lower back pain; Iliotibial Band Syndrome [outer thigh pain] and problems of pain during and after giving birth.

A small but growing group of young children with breathing problems related to asthma and also young babies with symptoms of colic have also wanted to try these gentle techniques with good success rates.

So............ Don't sit back and endure your pain; ditch that discomfort by trying Emmett and Bowen techniques for yourself !

Thanks to all those people who came to this lovely event. It was wonderful to be able to work alongised my therapy colleagues from Alliance Therapies in Carmarthen to show local people what we had to offer them.

It was hot and sunny the whole weekend and even though there were other, bigger events going on in the area that weekend we saw a very large number of people of all ages.

Looking forward next to the Mother and Toddler Show at The Liberty stadium in Swansea on the 18th of this month and  large Bike event in the Carmarthen Showground in August. Let's hope the weather is good for that showground event.

Take care and enjoy the wonderful summer we're having so far.

Judith

What a great time we had at the Open Day. I enjoyed meeting old and new clients alike. It was a very busy day with lots of people coming to view the lovely new premises in Blue Street. My fingertips were busy all day showing people what Emmett Technique can do to help with restricted neck and shoulder movements. It's been lovely to see some of you come for full hour long sessions since the Open day. Of course, Bowen and Emmett can help so much more than neck and shoulder problems

Look out for more events to come at Alliance Therapy.

Judith

Two great days at the Mercure Hotel in Cardiff. It was lovely to meet you all at this busy event.

Thank you for all your interest in Bowen & Emmett Techniques. I was so happy to be able to help so many of you with your neck and shoulder problems with the Emmett technique. Isn't it a joyous technique?

Also thank you all for entering the raffle. The winners have now been contacted. Please contact me to book your appointments in any of the four treatment venues as soon as possible.

I hope those of you who won the Lectric Soda or BowTech Ease oil are enjoying the benefits of these lovely products. These products are available directly from me at the treatment centres.

Judith

Good news to all those waiting for their Lectric Soda - supplies have arrived and will be available from Judith.

Also will be available at the Cardiff Natural Health Show on May 8th and 9th.

Wonderful soak for tired and aching feet as well as in a full bath.

See you all there

Judith

Just to say thank you to Tracey for organising us all so well at these fun days.

Safety and Fun together seemed to cancel each other out in my mind before I went to these events.

I think all who attended certainly had fun and went home with their car seats thoroughly checked out and safe.

I must say too, that I for one, had a couple of great days  [even though my feet needed a long hot soak at the end of each day - testing out the great BowTech product called Lectric Soda Chrystals - more on this and other products will be coming soon to the online shop area of the website]

Having met lots of lovely people I felt my sense of fun restored.

Many people kept the seat of my treatment chair warm throughout Wednesday and Thursday and I hope they enjoyed the mini Indian Head Massage or, if they had muscle tension, that they went away having experienced the wonderfully light finger-tip touch of the Emmett technique and had regained some of the range of movement they had lost in their shoulders or necks.

Some of you lost no time in booking for your full treatment and I am looking forward to seeing many more people who either exhibited or attended these fun days.

Keep smiling and for those people who were given advice on gentle exercises after treatment - keep up the good work that was started this week.

Next up is the larger Natural Health Show in Cardiff - I am eagerly awaiting my new Lectric Soda supplies - so that the old feet can soak away the ache of being stood on for 8 - 9 hours each day!!

Hope to see you all in Cardiff on May 8th and 9th.

Judith

Another date in your calendar for Spring 2010

http://www.visionforliving.co.uk/default.htm

May 8th and 9th at the Mercure Holland House Hotel and Spa, Newport Road Cardiff. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10am to 5.30pm Saturday and 10pm- 5pm Sunday, with an entry fee of £4.95/3.95 concessions. 

Just to let you all know that I will be offering advice and taster sessions at the Child Safety days at Ammanford and Carmarthen in the school Easter Holidays. Do come along and enjoy the Fun and I would love to see existing and potential new clients. Cheers, Judith

In order to be able to help more people from a wider area of South Wales, Every Body's Better with Bowen & Emmett therapy is expanding and an additional treatment venue is now available in the centre of picturesque Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan.

This will allow existing clients to reduce their travel time and allow easier access to these great techniques for new clients. The aim is to have Bowen & Emmett techniques available in the South Wales area from Carmarthenshire to the Vale of Glamorgan for a full 5 days a week.

Treatments are availble by pre-booked appointment in Cowbridge from March 22nd 2010.  Treatments are available in Llandeilo and Swansea as normal.

Don't forget to pass the good news on to your friends who may now be able to benefit from these wonderful techniques.

Cheers,  Judith

Hi

Don't forget to book for your free session if you have bladder problems - only 4 left now - results looking very good so far.

It seems that some people have longer lasting effects and others need more regular treatment. But as the procedure only takes a maximum of 10 minutes from start to finish then coming to see me once ever 2-3 months is a price worth paying for a happy bladder.

Judith

Now that you have started buying gift vouchers online - what about other special occassions that lend themselves to gift giving - celebrating a pregnancy; celebrating a birth; an engagement gift; birthdays; anniversaries; retirement; or just to say 'thank you' to a special person in your life.

Use your imagination :)

Cheers

Judith

Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day.

Chocolates were the order of the day in our house - Hotel Chocolat doing quite well this year!!

Thank you for all those last minute purchases of Gift Vouchers for Mother's Day. I look forward to seeing all the Mums and those purchasers who will receive a free treatment for themselves. Please ring me to book your appointments and feel the effectiveness of Bowen & Emmett Techniques for yourselves.

See you soon

Judith

Hello again - just signing in to say that everything went well with the launch of Every Body's Better in Swansea. Thank goodness for lifts - as my new room is on the 6th floor. Carrying a treatment table and all sorts of other bits and pieces was made a lot easier! Everything felt right - the reception security men were very welcoming and helpful; the room was quiet and peaceful; my first clients were happy with the new location and that's all a great start.

It was also good to meet a few of my new neighbours at the Glyn Vivian Gallery; at Celfi - a lovely little craft and gift shop in the building which previously housed the Central Library and also the reception staff at Burns Gym. I hope to make it round to see a lot more people over the next few weeks.

Look forward to welcoming you all - existing and new clients who want to experience the gentle, effective techniques of Bowen & Emmett. Also available will be Indian Head  Massage, where hopefully the people working in the building and in surrounding offices will be able to take a short break in their working day to let the aches and pains in their necks and shoulders be soothed away!

Cheers, Judith

Hello all,

Following a very fortuitous phone call, I have now negotiated a new treatment location to replace the one that has recently closed in Gowerton.

I will be offering Bowen and Emmett Techniques in central Swansea for the first time at

1 Alexandra Road, Swansea, SA1 5ED.

I will continue at Llandeilo as usual and I will be contactable as normal by phone or e-mail.

All this is to start on March 10th 2010 - so next week here we come !

Judith

Due to unforeseen circumstances and at very short notice this week, the Complementary Therapy centre at Gowerton has ceased trading and the room I was renting is no longer available to me.

Whilst I am looking for a permanent clinic location in Swansea, my clients in this area who cannot travel to Llandeilo, will be offered a mobile service. But watch this space, I am on the case ........ !

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely romantic Valentin'es Day this year. The world around us seems to be gearing up for the election - so it's wonderful to be able to focus on your loved one for a whole day instead!

If you were lucky enough to get a treatment voucher I look forward to seeing you very soon.

Cheers

Judith

What better gift for your special someone than the gift of health and wellbeing. Gift vouchers available and special offer

The Times carried this article which included the use of the Bowen Technique after quitting smoking to look after the whole body after leaving such a strong addiction behind. It is focussed on Barak Obama and his smoking habit but goes on to talk about useful things to do to help you quit.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5542111.ece

I am happy to help with treatments that will relax and de-tox the body whilst you are giving up smoking or alcohol this New Year. Use treatment as a reward too !

Last day for posting tomorrow - don't forget those important people in your life

      and give a little extra

Be kind to your body and your mind when you decide to finally quit the habit in the New Year.

Book a series of de-stressing Bowen treatments to help you get through.

Judith

Getting stuck in thinking what to give those who have everything already - give them a Healthy New Year - pain free and less stressed.

January is a wonderful time for re-generation

Give a gift voucher this Christmas that brings the recipient into the new year with a smile.

Bowen Technique and Emmett Technique can be used to de-stress as well as treat painful backs, necks and shoulders [as well as all sorts of other problems].

Give a voucher for one session or a group of three sessions.

See the online shop for purchasing with PayPal.

Judith

Having just returned from a very enjoyable Emmett study day I am feeling refreshed and excited about the new techniques I have learnt!

One of the most exciting was a technique to help with bladder problems - to help with stress incontinence / leakage / urgency to get to the toilet.

It is a quick and simple procedure that can help many people and I am currently focussing on women with such problems. If you have difficulties in this area please ring me or e-mail me at every body's better [see contact pages]

Please note this procedure is not suitable for anyone with hip or knee or serious back problems. It is also not possible to do for anyone who is pregnant or has been diagnosed with ovarian cysts.

Ring soon if you would like to experience this procedure and see if it can help you

Cheers

Judith

I have just received this joyful photograph that I thought you might like to share. It was taken by Maria http://www.mariafarrelly.com who takes wonderful portraits. Have a look at her website for some inspiration.

Here's Judith [centre] talking and laughing with two of the lovely potential clients for the Bowen and Emmett Techniques who attended Maud's Baby Show in Carmarthen in September.

Gift vouchers for pain and stress relief - great for birthdays and for Christmas.

Hi everyone

Great time at Maud's Mother and Baby Show in Carmarthen on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was extremely busy for me - my treatment chair was busy all day !  Thank you all for coming to see me and letting me show you what wonderful techniques Bowen and Emmett are. Several people came with sore and stiff necks and upper backs whilst many other were suffering from low back pain and sciatica - especially those that were heavily pregnant.

Please find more information about how these techniques can help from conception to birth and beyond in the who can be helped section.

Looking forward to helping you all further soon.
