Complementary Muscle and Healing Therapies

Emmett Therapy & Reiki Healing

EMMETT is a highly effective muscle therapy technique based on a very gentle, non-intrusive, muscle and soft tissue release approachIt can be used on its own, or to compliment other therapies and treatments. It is suitable for dogs of all ages, due to its gentle nature. It has been shown to improve quality of life.

 

By using light finger pressure at certain areas, this gentle therapy is useful in addressing pain and discomfort,  by improving restricted movements in problematic areas such as the hips, shoulders, elbows, neck and back. 

​

Emmett is primarily used for improved mobility and pain reduction, but also for stress release and general maintenance.

​

For active dogs, it helps pre-condition the body and aids recovery from sporting past-times, helping dogs that take part in CaniCross, Running, Agility, Gundog trials, Flyball, and other physically demanding activities. 

​

​Immediate results have been observed, although each dog is different and with some it can take minutes or hours to take effect, as releasing one area can have a domino effect that alters the rest of the body.​​

 

Emmett originated in Australia and is now an internationally recognised technique that is taught in over 35 countries globally. It has been thoroughly observed that this light touch therapy, improves the mobility, energy and behaviour of dogs after receiving the therapy.

  • Pain Relief from Sports or Accidents
    If your dog has been in an accident, or has had a sport related injury, this therapy gently relieves pain and restrictions through gentle, light pressure at specific points.
  • Lead and/or Harness Strain
    Dogs often pull on their leads and harnesses encourage pulling. This causes strain on their bodies in a way that we may not realise, and can be a cause of pain and discomfort, however subtle it may be.
  • Lower Back Discomfort
    Senior dogs, particularly develop pain in their lower back. This light touch technique is a very gentle and simple way to relieve such tension.
  • Unbalanced Gait or Stance
    An unbalanced gait can be a trigger for more problems down the line, by placing strain on the joints and muscles. This non-invasive technique can make dramatic changes to gait and stance enabling the dogs to move more balanced and fluidly. It is also an effective preventative treatment. It is great for any dogs that would benefit from moving more fluidly.
  • Performance Improvement
    This simple technique ultimately helps agility, sports and working dogs so they can have more freedom in movement and achieve their highest potential in performance.
  • Behaviour
    Stress is held in the body and dogs that are stress and pain-free behave better.

Reiki, (pronounced Ray-kee) 

​A Japanese word that means Universal Energy. Reiki is a blend of the energy around us (Rei) and the energy within us(ki)

​

A non-evasive, safe, gentle healing form of complementary energy therapy, founded on the teachings of Mikao Usui in the early 20th Century. Based on the principle that everything in the universe consists of energy that flows around and through living beings, it is believed that disruption to this energy causes health problems and Reiki practitioners seek to restore the balance of the energy flow.  

​

​Reiki is a very gentle therapy that can be carried out on all beings, with or without touch, and has many benefits on both the physical and mental well-being of the recipient.  It has been known to work when all else has failed. 

​​

How does Reiki work?

Every single cell in the body is surrounded by an electromagnetic field which vibrates at a certain frequency when all is well. During illness, these cells vibrate at a different frequency causing change to the electromagnetic field.

​

It is believed that the Reiki therapist is a channel through which energy passes to the human or animal who is willing to accept it with open mind and heart. The body then takes this energy to where it is most needed, rebalancing the energy centres and returning the cells to their normal rhythm. It stimulates and opens the natural healing within the body that promotes physical, mental and emotional healing, 

​

Animals are particularly receptive of this healing therapy and it can be used alone, or with Emmett and other therapies to enhance the benefits.​ I offer this treatment to dogs, equine animals, farm animals, pets, wildlife and humans
