The EMMETT Technique is a complimentary bodywork therapy created by Ross Emmett of Queensland, Australia. Amazing results in reduction of back pain, neck pain, pain relief and increased movement have been obtained with this treatment and generally occur in a very short space of time. EMMETT Technique is now being taught and utilized in many countries around the world and compliments other treatments such as chiropractic, physiotherapy, and massage.
What to expect
While being treated with EMMETT Technique your therapist will apply light pressure at particular points and in sequences that enable physical release and reset of muscles or muscle groups. This therapy allows the body to release the muscular memory of an injury and in many cases, pain relief is felt immediately. Therapists will also use a verbal approach to create attitude change, and often ask the client to perform a simple body action to activate a muscle group. These cues help the individual's body to realise a change has been made and also helps to lock in the body-work for lasting results. Treatments can be performed fully clothed and most releases can be done seated or standing for client comfort.

Bowen Therapy (Bowen Technique) is a complimentary therapy that works on the fascia or connective tissue of the body with gentle rolling and flicking movements in specific sequence. It is of great benefit for relieving pain in the body, easing muscle tension and improving movement restrictions. My training has been in Integrated Bowen Therapy which comprises of classic Bowen Therapy moves combined with elements of Remedial massage therapy included and less wait time between moves, resulting in a flowing and relaxing treatment. I also incorporate Emmett Technique with this treatment. Trigger points, pain, restriction and areas or tension are addressed but the therapy is just as good for general relaxation and wellbeing.

McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR) is an innovative, pain-free, natural method of working on scar tissue. Gentle, finger-tip pressure is applied to the area to help free the restrictions in the scar. No force is involved and the work is always applied within your tolerance.
Some examples of different scars we may assist with are:
Scars may have a huge influence on our presenting problems and can be the cause of lingering pain, restriction in movement and weakness, reduced blood and lymph flow or emotional discomfort from the look or feel of the scar.
Treatment of your scar is vital!
According to research1, if a scar is left untreated it may make other therapeutic interventions less effective or not last as long. Even though your scar may be many years old this may be the release your body has been searching for. Often just one or two sessions can produce dramatic changes that you can see and feel! We have noticed clients report improvements in pain, fading of the scar and movement.
Lymphatic drainage is a manual therapy that targets the movement of the lymph fluid. The lymph fluid is linked closely to the function on of the immune system but it lacks a pump, like our heart, to move it through the body. At Aligned Bodywork our Lymphatic Drainage sessions are based on Emmett Technique methods. It cuts treatment time from the traditionally taken time of 2+ hours to approximately half an hour while still producing great benefits.
What to expect during the appointment
Lymphatic drainage is a relaxing and flowing treatment. It is performed through clothing lying comfortably face up on a massage table. There is a little bit of work directly on the skin over the abdomen.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage
Boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation especially post-surgery or infection
Helps to flush out fluid build-up and swelling, benefiting lymphoedema
