EMMETT Therapy in Yateley
What is EMMETT?
The EMMETT Technique is a unique form of body relaxation therapy, involving the application of light finger pressure at specific points. It is based on the belief that light touch can trigger a relaxation response in the soft tissues of the body, and that the therapist may thereby help relieve feelings of tension. Many people find they feel more at ease within their body and their emotional well being is enhanced. The result is often instantaneous feelings of greater comfort.
EMMETT is truly a complete therapy. It may be applied in isolation but it also combines easily with all other bodywork and exercise specialities such as massage, chiropractic, physiotherapy, yoga and personal training as some typical examples.
How does it work?
EMMETT points are small sensory receptors that allow access to the brain via the therapists’ touch. With the correct light touch, the brain receives and evaluates this stimulus and initiates the relaxation response in the soft tissue. There are receptor points all over the body so the therapist can target the area of concern. It may sound surprising but the relaxation response and the feeling of ease in the area is often immediate.
The pressure required is not heavy or painful. “No pain no gain” has no place in the EMMETT therapist’s approach.
The treatment may be done while you are fully clothed, although some garments may need to be removed or loosened. Treatment times may vary.
