THE EMMETT FASCIA TECHNIQUE

 

What is EMMETT therapy?

The EMMETT Technique is a gentle, natural Australian healing technique, original and unprecedented in France. It's an "art of healing with the hands", like osteopathy, foot reflexology, Shiatsu or the Bowen technique.

Using his knowledge, Ross EMMETT combined his observations and experiments with animals, and developed this remarkable method of relieving pain and discomfort.

This technique, still little known in France, is internationally recognized and taught throughout the world.

 

How does EMMETT work?

"The greatest strength comes from the lightest touch."

The EMMETT Technique uses the skin as a highly sensitive tactile screen: all it takes is light pressure on specific points to activate it. Through the surrounding connective tissue known as fascia, impulses are sent directly to muscles and tendons. The nervous system sends the stimulation of the connective tissue to the brain. The brain, in turn, sends corrective information to the whole body.

Blockages can then dissolve, bringing the body back into balance in no time. The result is often felt immediately, with a positive physical change.

 

How does an EMMETT Technique session work?

An EMMETT Therapy session can be performed sitting, standing or lying down, depending on the location of the pain, directly on the skin or through light clothing.

It usually lasts between 30 minutes and an hour, sometimes longer.

It is a highly effective stand-alone therapy. It can, however, be successfully integrated with many other therapies: massage, chiropractic, occupational therapy, osteopathy, kinesiology, reflexology...

 

For whom?

This gentle, holistic method has astonishing, rapid results on all systems: connective tissue, musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, lymphatic, immune, endocrine, metabolic...

It reduces or even eliminates pain, as well as physical and emotional discomfort, quickly and sustainably.

Its aim is to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms, using small contacts via connective tissue or fascia, muscles, tendons and nerves.

It is designed for infants, seniors and our animal friends.

It produces excellent results for people seeking relaxation, as well as for muscular and joint pain...

Beneficial to all, it can also be used as a preventive measure, as it appears to significantly improve the performance of athletes, making them more efficient.

 

The psoas, muscle of the soul

The psoas muscle is at the heart of the EMMETT approach.

An unbalanced psoas can lead to changes in posture, pain and physiological symptoms.

Visit change of position can result in pelvic imbalance, shoulder imbalance and temporomandibular joint problems.

Visit pain may be in the lower back, pelvic area, groin, quadriceps, leg, heels (burning feet) or testicles.

Visit physiological symptoms They can lead to respiratory restrictions, abdominal bloating, intestinal problems, menstrual problems and even reproductive problems.

" The psoas literally embodies our deep desire to survive, and more profoundly, our basic desire to flourish. " - Liz Koch
