The Emmett Technique
The Emmett Technique is a unique Australian therapy developed by Mr. Ross Emmett. It consists, for the most part, of applying light pressure to a series of pressure points. These pressure points are often held in pairs and their stimulation leads to a significant reduction in excess tension in muscle groups surrounding the points. This is often followed by an immediate reduction in pain and an increase in movement.
In addition to the pressure points, Emmett Technique makes use of flicking movements, usually applied to muscle tendons.
The Emmett Technique is the most gentle and effective therapy I know. It is suitable for everyone from new born babies to the elderly and the infirmed.
The development of Emmett Technique
While a teenager, Ross Emmett realised that he could see and feel what was wrong with people and what was causing their pain. He attended formal training in various forms of massage and in the early 1980's opened a clinic in Mt. Isa, Australia. Here he used his unique insight into peoples pain to develop his own, unique form or therapy. He combined this with other forms of massage.
Because Mt. Isa was an isolated town that served a large surrounding area, many of Ross's clients came from cattle stations or mines hundreds of kilometres away. Their visits to town were few and far between. Ross found that he was able to provide almost instant, lasting relief for these clients with only one visit. He was soon treating 100 clients a week.
In 2000, Ross moved to Townsville, Australia, where he runs a full time clinic and continues to develop his work. As well as maintaining a busy clinic, Ross travels the world teaching his work to students in Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and parts of Asia.
He has a surrounded himself with a team of very talented therapists who now help teach this powerful therapy.
