EMMETT Technique International

The EMMETT Technique is a gentle, soft touch, safe and simple to apply muscle release therapy.

This internationally recognised technique developed by Ross Emmett and taught in over 40 countries worldwide is equally effective on both people and animals. The EMMETT Technique is a unique muscle release therapy developed by Australian massage and remedial therapist, Ross Emmett. The Technique involves applying light finger pressure to specific points on the body, known as "EMMETT points." These points differ from traditional trigger or acupressure points and are stimulated using gentle pressure, allowing for effective muscle release and improved movement without the need for pain. Focused on achieving physical and emotional wellbeing through minimal touch, the method is based on the principle that light touch triggers a subconscious response in the soft tissues of the body. Symptoms that have been relieved:
🔹Neck & shoulder restriction/discomfort
🔹Lymphatic congestion & breathing
🔹Migraines or headaches
🔹Abdominal cramps & bowel discomfort
🔹Heel and foot pain
🔹Dizziness & sinus congestion
🔹Back & hip discomfort
🔹Knee & ankle restriction
🔹Discomfort during pregnancy
🔹Fluid retention
🔹And much more!

Learning by doing 💪

Inside an EMMETT Technique workshop, theory quickly becomes practice. Students work together, applying gentle releases and experiencing immediate feedback - both as practitioner and recipient.

These hands-on sessions reveal what makes EMMETT unique. Light touch. Precise points. Instant response. Whether learning releases for the neck, shoulders, hips or legs, students discover how simple movements can create significant shifts in comfort and mobility.

No prior experience necessary. Just a willingness to learn and a supportive environment where everyone - from health professionals to those simply wanting to help family members - can develop practical skills in a single day.

The real education happens when students feel the technique work on themselves, then successfully apply it to others. That's when curiosity transforms into confidence.

This week's tutor tip comes from Karen Allsop, EMMETT Instructor and Practitioner with nearly 50 years of experience riding and working with horses in jumping and eventing.

Karen's journey with EMMETT began when she witnessed its effectiveness on her horses. The results were compelling enough that she completed the training so she could work on her own horse - never imagining where it would lead.

As a Level 1 NCAS Instructor who has taught at Pony Clubs for many years, Karen brings a unique perspective to the technique. Her main interest lies in treating both horse and rider during mounted work, creating a synergy that produces instant, observable results.

🟡 Her tip for practitioners and students? The feedback you get when working with both horse and rider is immediate and powerful. Addressing tension or restriction in one often unlocks improvement in the other.
🔵 One of Karen's most memorable outcomes involved a client with severe leg swelling who, after just two moves, walked with more comfort than she'd experienced in years.

Simple, effective care for both two-legged and four-legged clients.

Today, the spotlight is on Mic from SportMediTec Performance Chiropractic and Massage in Western Australia. With 29 Ironman Triathlons and three World Championships under his belt, Mic understands what athletes need because he's lived it.

As a Massage Therapist working with athletes, Mic's focus is simple - help them perform at their best and recover faster. Six years ago, a client suggested he explore EMMETT, believing it would complement his existing skills. That suggestion transformed his practice.

Now an Advanced Practitioner and Instructor, Mic has woven EMMETT into a treatment approach that combines Swedish, Remedial and Sports Massage, Soft Tissue Release, CORE Myofascial Release, Bowen, Smart Tools, Dry Needling and Lymphatic Drainage 💪

The result? Optimal performance and recovery for the athletes who trust him with their bodies - just as he once trusted therapists with his own during years of intense competition.

It's a common misconception that only massage therapists or medical professionals can learn and use the EMMETT Technique.

✅ The truth is if you have fingers and a desire to help others, you can learn EMMETT too.

One of the most beautiful things about the EMMETT Technique is its accessibility. While many professional bodyworkers use it to enhance their results, the shorter course and levelled path was designed specifically so anyone can learn these life-changing moves.

So, who is it for?
✔️ Mums and dads: to help with kids’ growing pains or sports injuries.
✔️ Yoga and pilates instructors: to help clients find deeper releases in their practice.
✔️ Podatrists, massage therapists and physiotherapists: who can benefit from the technique in their toolkit.
✔️ PTs and coaches: to get your athletes moving freely and recovering faster.
✔️ Vet nurses and animal lovers: to support the well-being of the pets in your care.
✔️ Aged care workers: To provide gentle comfort and improved mobility to the elderly.
✔️ Other professional therapists: To add a fast-acting tool to your existing toolkit.

You don't need a degree in anatomy to start. We teach you how to "listen" to the body and where to place your fingers to create an instant change.

Today, we are shining a light on Karen Allsop, the force behind Mitis Equine Soft Tissue Therapy. With over 50 years of experience in the saddle - from pony club to showjumping and eventing - Karen’s journey with EMMETT began when she saw the "huge difference" it made for her own horse.

Karen treats both the horse and the rider, providing instant feedback and relief, resolving stiffness and creating a more harmonious movement between the two during competition 👥🐴

Karen’s passion for equine welfare and rider performance has also led her to become an EMMETT Instructor, passing on her learnings to others to share the benefits.

Did you know dogs are some of the best responders to the EMMETT Technique? 🐶

Because dogs don’t have the mental "clutter" we do, their nervous systems respond incredibly fast to the gentle EMMETT touch. Whether it's an ageing pet with stiff joints or a high-performance agility dog, the results are visible within seconds.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐄𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐓 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬?

✅ It’s simple: you don’t need to be a vet or a pro to learn the basics. Our courses teach you how to recognise cues from your dog and where to apply light finger pressure to support them.
✅ It’s fast: most releases take only a few moments. No long, drawn-out sessions required - just a quick reset that helps them move more freely.
✅ It’s gentle: there’s no heavy manipulation. It’s so light that even the most sensitive or nervous dogs usually settle and enjoy the process.

Watching a dog go from stiff and hesitant to wagging and walking easily is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. ❤️

Meet Brett Jenkins ✨

Brett's journey to EMMETT practitioner through Reset Body Therapy has been an interesting one, spanning everything from driving trucks through to real estate.

Brett found a passion for EMMETT unexpectedly when he saw the technique in action on his horse and experienced the results firsthand.

Now an EMMETT EP6 practitioner, Brett's varied background gives him a unique ability to connect with clients from all walks of life.

His advice to fellow practitioners? "Work the technique, and the technique works."

It’s a common misconception, however the EMMETT Technique is NOT massage! 🙅‍♀️

While both can leave you feeling relaxed, they work in very different ways and can complement one another.

The EMMETT Technique is a unique neuromuscular release method which, unlike massage that involves long, kneading strokes to manipulate tissue, uses light finger pressure on specific critical points.

These points act as switches, sending an immediate signal to the brain via the nervous system to:
🔹 Release muscle tension
🔹 Improve range of motion
🔹 Reset muscle memory

It’s fast gentle, and can even be performed through clothing!

A new year often means refocused energy on your health and wellness. If gut pain, discomfort, cramping and bloating is holding you back from the health goals you want to achieve, EMMETT Technique can support use.

"Before EMMETT treatments I struggled with digestive issues. These issues were painful and uncomfortable. Once I started getting treatments I have not had any signs of discomfort or pain. I feel like I have my life back." - Rob 🙂

Through gentle touch, EMMETT can help relieve the tension in your abdomen, hips and diagram which can improve digestion.

If an uncomfortable gut is holding you back, find a local therapist to assist you.

On behalf of Ross, Karen, and myself (Lindsay), we wish to inform our EMMETT community of the passing of one of our EMMETT Technique Instructors in Australia, Jackie Bratley, who passed away yesterday.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband, Michael, and to all of Jackie’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Jackie was a wonderful therapist, an inspiring instructor, and an exceptional person. Her contribution to the EMMETT community was significant, and her impact on all of us will be deeply felt and long remembered.

With sincere sympathy,

Ross, Karen and Lindsay 🙏
