The EMMETT Technique is a light touch treatment developed by Ross Emmett and taught in over 30 countries worldwide. At Willow Massage Centre in East Belfast it can be used on its own, or combined with massage, reflexology or pregnancy work.
Your therapist uses gentle, precise touches at specific points on the body. Many clients find it relaxing, and it may help you feel more comfortable and at ease.
At Willow, you pay for the time, and we work on what you need. We take a holistic approach and listen, so your therapist will talk through how you are feeling at the start and can tailor the session to you, for example by combining the Emmett Technique with a relaxing massage. Prices are shown in our online booking system.

The EMMETT Technique is based on the belief that light touch can trigger a relaxation response in the soft tissue of the body, and the therapist may help relieve tensions resulting in feelings of improved comfort within the body.
It may be enjoyed by people of all ages, from the very young to the elderly.
Many people find they feel more at ease within their body and emotional well being is enhanced.
This internationally recognised technique developed by Ross Emmett and taught in over 30 countries worldwide.
It works well as a standalone approach but can easily be combined with other complementary therapies such as massage, reflexology and pregnancy work.
This is a light but very powerful treatment. People often come to us for help with stiff shoulders, painful hips and knees, and tight or contracted limbs.

People who should not choose the Emmett Technique:
Be sure to advise your therapist of any pre-existing medical conditions or areas to avoid before they begin your treatment.
During your Emmett treatment
People can be treated seated, standing or lying down.
The treatment can be applied directly to the skin or through clothing.
Sessions can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes if the EMMETT Technique is used alone – longer if combined with a relaxing massage or other modality.
These corrections are also locked in with movement. So if you are having work done on your legs or balance you will be asked to do a few laps of the massage table.
How does it work?
There is no current scientific explanation for the mechanism by which it achieves the relaxation response.
We believe that science simply hasn’t caught up to how this therapy works. However, we believe a good analogy is that of a digital touch-screen.
We believe the EMMETT points are small sensory receptors that allow access to the brain via the therapists’ touch.
The brain then evaluates this stimulus and initiates the relaxation response of the soft tissue.
The pressure required is not heavy or painful. “No pain no gain” has NO place in the EMMETT therapist’s approach.
Sessions can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes when the Emmett Technique is used alone, and longer if it is combined with a relaxing massage or another treatment.
