What is The Emmett Technique ?
The Emmett Technique is a muscle release therapy which is used to address issues of pain and dysfunction. It is non invasive, and does not involve any massage oils, drugs, manipulations or high velocity thrusts.
It was developed by an Austrailian, Ross Emmett, and brought to the UK in 2007. It uses a combination of gentle switches and direct pressure to unlock muscle memory, release specific muscle groups, and allow the body to return to a state of balance.
The results are often dramatic and can be instantaneous.
