The EMMETT Technique is a highly effective gentle and non-intrusive muscle and soft tissue release therapy technique developed by Ross Emmett. The technique is useful in addressing pain and discomfort and to improve movement in restricted or problematic areas such as the shoulders, neck and back. EMMETT uses light finger pressure at specific locations to initiate a gentle release of tension in problem areas.
Emmett Technique muscle therapy is used for pain reduction, posture conrrection and improved movement primarily but also for maintenance.
This therapy is suitable for all ages birth upwards.
The EMMETT Technique may help with symptoms of the following:
• Neck, shoulder, arm, back, hip restrictions & discomfort

At Equilize we recognise that our own body tightness, restricted abdominals, unbalanced tight psoas, shoulder restriction, clenched jaw, gripping with our knees, uneven weight in the stirrups, lopsided seat, straight arms and uneven rein grip all affect our effectiveness of our aids as a rider and restrict the ability of our horses to be able to perform in harmony and partnership.
Using EMMETT Technique we can help to relieve muscle tension & restrictions. As much as EMMETT can benefit a horse, if the rider is experiencing areas of tension or restriction it means that horse and rider are not in harmony, so the problems will continue.
There is a clear relationship between supple horses who move freely and in balance, and their riders who are flexible, and have good core strength. Conversely riders with physical issues of their own may restrict the horse’s movement or put muscles under strain.
Rider only appointments are only available at clinic in Wadhurst.
