Emmett Technique for Serious Runner
I have been using Emmett Technique for over 2 years and first discovered it at the Long Course weekend Expo in Tenby, S.Wales in June 2011. At the time, I was experiencing very tight gluteal area and was really struggling to run, I had tried stretching more and massage, but the tightness just seemed to be getting worse. I spoke with Judith at the event, and with about 5 mins of Emmett technique treatment ( mainly on my feet and IT band) the pain disappeared and I was fit to run. It was unbelievable!
I met Judith again a few months later at the Ironman Wales Expo, and again I was injured, this time it was my groin, and the injury was so sore I had been unable to run for 6 weeks. I asked Judith if she could recommend anything as I had been resting for 8 weeks already, and every time I attempted to run the pain was unbearable. After 5 mins of treatment (in my core muscles) I was fit and almost ran off the bed!
Over 6 months later in the build up of training for London marathon I experienced a stabbing pain in my knee whilst on a long run. I had to limp home and was unable to run. With this being the Wednesday before the Llanelli half marathon on the Sunday I was very upset. I saw Judith for an emergency appointment on the Thursday and was back running that evening, and did a PB in the race.
I have seen Judith regularly to prevent injury and as soon as I have a slight niggle I make an appointment and it's very easily corrected.
I cannot recommend the technique enough and think it is something all runners should try. I have just completed my 2nd London marathon with a PB and experienced no pain and my muscles and body are fine afterwards.
I try and see Judith a few times in the lead up to big races to re-balance / iron out any slight niggles and this prevents imbalances which lead to other injures.

Integrated Emmett and Bowen Therapies for a great result
Judith has sorted some of my musculo-skeletal problems over the years. A pelvic misalignment/strain from pregnancy was resolved as if by magic within a few minutes of treatment - never to return again. A long-standing problem with pain in my upper arm has slowly but steadily improved where other treatments hadn't made any difference. I feel that Judith is very much in tune during a treatment session and she always finds the 'spot' to make an almost immediate change!

Emmett Technique for Bladder Problems
Jo attended for treatment during one of her episodes of cystitis for which she was receiving antibiotics on a fairly regular basis. Getting tired of repeat prescriptions, she wanted to try a new technique offered by Every Body's Better.
One quick session using a gentle and simple Emmett technique procedure helped with both the urgency to go to the toilet and the pain of the cystitis.
Emmett Technique for stiff and painful neck
Heidi and I were attending a seated acupressure course in London and I noticed that on the second day she was turning her body rather than just her head during class; she was also having problems carrying out the techniques. In the tea break I took her one side and asked if I could try to help. She told me that her neck muscles had stiffened over night after working hard the day before; also that anything I could do would be welcome.
Having sat her in a chair I carried out one simple procedure - 1 minute's worth of treatment - and she was able to look right over her shoulder at me and just said 'Wow - what did you do ???'
It was a wonderful moment for me too - at that stage I had only done 2 days of Emmett training. Talk about an incentive to carry on!
The following testimonial was published in the June 2010 edition of Emm-Chat:
Hi! I recently had a 10 minute session with Judith (Emmet practitioner from S. Wales) at a holistic fair ...which gave me pain relief and manoeuvrability in my neck I have not had for more than 18 months (despite lots of Chiro treatments!). I have now had full session with her and am blown away!
Since my last email I had a fall and badly sprained my ankle. When Judith worked on it 10 days ago I had just been told by the Doctor that it would be 4-6 weeks before I was up and about again. Four days after the session I was able to take my first steps without crutches and today am walking pain free, comparatively little swelling although it is quite stiff. Am looking forward to my next session on Thursday!
