How does it work?

The Emmett Technique uses a combination of direct pressure and gentle switches to release specific muscle groups and allow the client's body to return to a state of balance. The results are often dramatic, and can be instantaneous, with most clients recognising the improvements in pain levels and range of movement before leaving the clinic. Practitioners are trained in assessment skills and how to use the best combination of moves in their knowledge base to effect change. Additionally, practitioners are taught special language skills in order to assist the client to recognise and enhance the changes so achieved and this adds to the successful outcome of the work.

The Injury Clinic working from Rolls Mill is also able to offer a specific sequence of moves put together to address fluid buildup throughout the body. Swelling to the arms or legs, general feeling of slowness, sinus congestion and body aches.

Lymphatic Drainage

The Emmett Technique has researched and developed this gentle yet effective sequence which works over the entire body helping to stimulate and open the system as a whole, encouraging a natural flow and rhythm. The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels and ducts that branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry the blood. It plays a vital role in immunity with its organs main function creating immune cells. It transports fluid from tissues carrying away waste materials, filtering lymph and transporting substances for use in the body. Though fluid moves through the lymphatic system, it does not have its own pumping mechanism; it relies on a one way system and the contraction of muscles throughout the body to help drive it.

This relaxing sequence of moves created by Ross Emmett (Emmett Therapies) is intended to assist the body in producing a free-flowing lymphatic system.
