The Emmett technique is a highly effective gentle and non-intrusive muscle and soft tissue release technique. The technique is very useful for addressing pain and discomfort and to improve movement in restricted or problematic areas such as shoulders, knees, backs and neck. Emmett uses light finger pressure at specific points to initiate a gentle release of tension in problem area. Primarily the Emmett technique is used for pain reduction and improved movement, but it can also used for maintenance. This therapy is useful for all ages from birth upwards! 

The EMMETT Technique can help with symptoms of the following: 

• Neck, shoulder, arm, back, hip restrictions & discomfort 
• Knee & ankle discomfort or restrictions 
• Persistent heel & foot discomfort 
• Wrist strain 
• Poor hand grip 
• Breathing difficulties 
• Postural issues
• Difficulty in standing and walking upright 
• General mobility 
• Migraines and headaches 
• Long term post viral symptoms 
• Feeling tired and sluggish 
• Digestive issues 
• Lymphatic drainage and sinus congestion 
• Mens and ladies pelvic care 
• And much more! 

Fascia is a tissue within the body that forms a continuous web around all other structures, muscles, bones, organs, blood vessels, nerves hugging them all into our human form. There are serial connections of muscle and fascial tissues that wind around the body and form the Myofascial Meridians. There are twelve Myofascial Meridians that connect the body and transmit force over long distances from head to toe.

Within these lines tension in one part of the body can affect far distant structures, like a right hip issue may be causing a pain in the left shoulder. By understanding the pathways, and how the body moves in health and in repetitive strain movements, the body can be encouraged to adjust to a new position of ease.

I have developed a way of simply showing the body by light touch in sequence where it needs to readjust. This is the same in both humans and animals.

Scar tissue forms as a result following an accident or surgery. While it’s essential that our skin, tissue and muscles knit together quickly during healing, the scarring can cause underlying problems, aggravating or preventing other conditions from resolving, eg chronic back pain. If you have a scar does it cause pain, burning, itching, tingling, numbness or sensitivity? Is it unsightly or ugly? By gently releasing the layers of the scarred tissue these issues can be reduced or even eliminated, which can improve movement, flexibility, blood flow and appearance.

Scar Tissue Release is a pain-free, natural method of helping you with your scars. Not only can visible scars diminish your self confidence, scar tissue can spread internally restricting movement or function and causing discomfort. Almost everyone has a scar; that’s a few minor scars on the knees from falling from a bike as a child, a scar from shoulder, hip or knee surgery or a c-section scar after the birth of your child. Scar tissue can also take the form of an area of restricted tissue through repetitive strain. As with any scar tissue formed by the body it is a result of a trauma to that body, and in an attempt to heal and protect, the body randomly lays down layers of collagen that can form a thick and fibrous layer or lump. The original trauma can have deep seated connections, mostly physical but sometimes emotional. These connections can be incredibly limiting – and most clients report a feeling of ‘being held back’ – either in their life, in their range of motion, or sometimes both.

Thankfully there is a gentle therapy that can help release the pain and discomfort of the restrictive scar tissue, enhancing the visible appearance of your scar and helping you to regain the confidence you have lost.

Treatments are carried out once any wounds/scars are healed, with the client rarely feeling any discomfort (I will always adapt the amount of pressure used to suit the individual). Light finger pressure and light electrical stimulus (see Sanakey/Scenar information) are used to help reorganise the tissue, such that mobility is restored, emotions are released and the body is able to function properly. 

Boost your immune system with a treatment session which will make all other parts of your body work with less strain and stress. So whether you are recovering from an illness or preventing one, an immune boosting session will help you. The Emmett Sequence for Lymphatic Drainage is a very specific, rhythmical treatment done in precise locations around the body to improve the movement and flow of lymph. It is greatly relaxing treatment and is carried out generally, lying down. With a rhythmic sequence I aim to release the muscles surrounding the hip and chest then gently pump the lymph glands to move the lymph fluid around the body. This helps to speed up or influence the normal lymph movement where it has slowed down or become impaired. In turn this helps your body to remove toxins or built up fluid and boosts energy and immune systems.

The benefits of Lymphatic Treatments are: 

• Increase energy levels 
• Improve digestive issues 
• Reduce the symptoms of PMS 
• Reduce pain  
• Improve joint mobility 
• Reduce swelling and inflammation
• Relieve flu symptoms and improve immunity 
• Reduce issues with Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue  
• Helpful with Autism & ADHD symptoms 
• Eliminate water retention in the body 
• Can help with chemotherapy side effects or other conditions during cancer treatments 
• Can improve anxiety and the stress effect 

These devices are innovative and highly effective pain relief technology. Using biofeedback neurostimulation to manage pain. They effectively and rapidly treat acute and chronic pain, can increase range of movement and promote faster healing.

Unlike other types of pain relief equipment such as TENS, which only provides temporary relief by blocking pain signals, these devices trigger the brain to release the body’s own powerful pain relieving substances called endorphins into the blood stream. They also switch on the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

There is a revolution underway in medical science… This is changing the fundamental way we view how our bodies work. We are not just made of matter, we are charged energy beings constantly interacting with our environment. Light plays an important role in how we ‘charge’ ourselves!

Science is now showing that our bodies work like a battery and that certain lights can help us to maintain a charge. Due to modern day living we have moved from living in an outdoor environment to one of indoor life with electricity and artificial light. This shift from receiving light energy from the sun and its associated circadian biology turns out to have had a major impact on our well being. I use two different devices that utilise this amazing technology, the Flexbeam and Lifewave Patches.

Flexbeam Light Therapy

Flexbeam is a revolutionary new red light therapy device. It harnesses the power of red light technology in a way that hasn’t been done before. Here is a flexible device that unlike any other red light therapy device in the market today, is designed for the human body, making it far more effective with its ability to target the area that hurts.

It is a great home help device and you can book a session to try one before you invest in your long term health, or download the brochure to find out more.

LifeWave Phototherapy

LifeWave phototherapy technology is cutting edge technology that utilises the body’s own energy. The X39 patch, the most technologically advanced patch utilises infrared body heat to power up or activate the materials in the patch. The patch then reflects light on to the skin which stimulates the nerves on the skin. This results is a specific in the bodies biochemistry, such as “activating stem cells”.

This wonderful science meets your needs if you’re looking for pain relief, a desire to feel better and become better, feelings of vitality and youth and living healthier by enhancing cellular energy. Download the brochure to find out more.
