EMMETT / Myofascial Release - 60 min

Service Description

What to Expect in a Session • Treatment may include EMMETT Technique, Myofascial Release, or a combination of both • Work is typically done directly on the skin; wearing shorts and a tank top is recommended • Sessions are gentle and client-led — this is not aggressive or forceful bodywork • You may notice changes in movement, ease, or relaxation during or after your session EMMETT Technique is an internationally recognized muscle release technique that involves the application of light finger pressure at specific points, referred to as “Emmett points”. The points are not the same as traditional trigger points or acupressure points or any other points described in any other therapy. This technique can be used for relieving discomfort, improving body movement, aiding relaxation, and improving quality of life. This technique can be done sitting, lying, or standing. In addition, it is suitable for everyone from babies, during pregnancy, for the elderly, and everyone in between. Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.
