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.

I gave Brum two EMMETT sessions last week to help him with soreness in his shoulders. He was very happy to work a bit yesterday, thankfully. He felt free and willing instead of feeling very reluctant and jammed in front the previous ride. I’m so pleased to be able to help him out. Massive difference.

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.

✅ 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. ❤️

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!
