Emmett Technique

The Emmett Technique is a unique body therapy technique created by Ross Emmett [hence 'Emmett' technique] who is a very gifted and experienced remedial practitioner based in Queensland, Australia.

The technique uses the application of light pressure, usually with the middle fingers, at specific points and in sequences that enables muscle groups to gently release.

Emmett can be used as a treatment on it's own and is a very effective treatment to ease pain and discomfort and may benefit a range of other conditions. The technique also works beautifully alongside a range of other therapies, including the Bowen Technique, complementing and enhancing the results.

The use of this therapy will be guided by the specific needs of the individual client, through assessment and observation.

Treatments are usually carried out fully clothed, although tight clothing may have to be loosened. [e.g. it's not a good idea to wear tight jeans for treatment as it is difficult to work through thick denim, especially the seams]. Lighter, looser clothing is recommended.

The Emmett Technique is new to the UK, but is being integrated into the practise of complementary and other therapists.

Emm-Tech

The interesting development for non-therapists is that Ross Emmett has encouraged his techniques to be taught at a basic, first-aid level to people who have no training in complementary or traditional medicine.

This makes the technique available to all who may want to help relieve pain for their relatives or friends, for staff in care homes, for sports teams etc.

This short version of the Emmett Technique is called 'Emm-Tech' and each course lasts approximately 8 hours - either done in one day or in two half days.

A number of Emmett practioners have been approved by Ross Emmett to teach Emm-Tech in the UK.
