Rusty's Place Rusty Smalley: Taking care of you with Emmett Technique and Acess Bars @ Rusty's Place Emmett Technique
The Chameleon approach to body therapies.

Emmett Technique is a safe and simple muscle release therapy developed by Remedial Therapist Ross Emmett. It is used to address pain and discomfort, improve body movement and can restore a positive emotional state. Description of the principle behind the Emmett technique

Emmett Technique is a special form of body therapy that involves application of light finger pressure at specific points. These are in sequences that enable gentle releases for common problems which include neck, shoulder and back pain. Techniques derived from Ross's observation skills that are also integrated within the treatment to encourage homeostasis. Emmett Technique can be used as an effective adjunct to enhance the treatment value of other types of muscle release and neuro-musculoskeletal therapies, for example: Massage, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy or may be used as an effective therapy on its own. Accurate and fast assessment of imbalances present in the body are an integral feature of this technique. The therapy addresses tissues that may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue (fascia), as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Critical Point Analysis

In the science of Critical Point Analysis it is identified that in any highly complex system there is a specific, critical point at which the smallest input will result in the greatest change, where the least force exerts the greatest effect (for example a light touch on a small cog can halt the largest engine). It is with this understanding that the Emmett Technique influences the most complex system known – the human body. Working within this principle the Emmett Technique is able to affect two types of receptors, sensory and muscular, which may also activate an emotional state. These are overlapped together at specific junctions where each one can and will influence the other. The therapist is compared to a body electrician who has the power to locate these overlaps or re-set buttons. The muscle that has tripped out due to overuse or overload may only need a light pressure to re-set.

✨ Something new is growing…

I’ve quietly been building a little side hustle — something that lights me up and brings together all the bits and pieces I’ve gathered over the years.
It’s creative. It’s practical. It’s heart-driven.
And it’s all about helping people bring their ideas to life.

If you ever need a hand with:
✨ Branding your business across all your platforms — creating your personal branding with graphics, memes, logos, and possibilities
✨ Getting words to flow when you don’t know what to say
✨ Creating a website, post, or visual that actually feels like you — a digital upgrade of you and your business
✨ Or just someone to brainstorm with — who can see what’s possible beyond the stuck points…

Then maybe I’m your person. 💛

A lot of you have known me for years — you’ve seen the posts, logos, book covers, reels, graphics, and memes floating around… but maybe didn’t know I’ve been the one quietly creating them behind the scenes — and not just for my own business.

It’s early days, but it already feels like something that could grow into so much more.
If you’d like to know what’s possible, message me or comment below — I’d love to help where I can.

Here’s to new beginnings, creativity, and side hustles that don’t just make sense… they make magic. ✨

I’ve just finished branding my new side hustle page on my website — take a peek if you’re curious to see what’s possible.

✨ You may have heard of Access Bars. ✨
Maybe you’ve even experienced it before.

But here’s the beauty of an Access Bars class or a Access Bars Session —
it’s never the same twice.
Because every person who chooses it
brings their own awareness, their own energy, their own knowing.
And together we create something
that none of us could have created alone.

That’s what makes each class magical.
The questions.
The laughter.
The space that opens up when we explore possibility together.

So what if this Bars class
was the one that unlocked something new for you?

⚙️ Muscles Are More Than “Strong” or “Weak” — They’re Smart 💪

Your muscles aren’t just lumps of meat waiting to be stretched or strengthened — they’re clever little communicators.
They respond to load, repetition, direction, and speed.
They fire in chains, not isolation — meaning your shoulder might be tight because of your foot, and your hip might be exhausted because of your jaw.

They chat constantly through fascia and your nervous system, creating complex body-wide conversations.
And here’s the kicker 👇
When one muscle stops showing up to work… the others pick up the slack. That’s when tension, pain, and imbalance sneak in.

✨ Your body isn’t broken — it’s just compensating.
And once you help the right muscles wake up and work together again, everything moves better, feels better, and functions the way it was designed to.

👣 Wanna give your muscles a team meeting they’ll thank you for?

✨ I thought trauma would define me forever.? ✨
That no matter what I did, my past was louder than me.

And then I found Access Bars.
The first time I let someone run my Bars, I felt something shift.
The noise of the past started to quiet down.
And with the Access tools, I began seeing doorways
where before there had only been walls.

Every day since then, a new door has opened.
Some small, some life-changing.
But all leading me into more space than I ever imagined.

What doorway could open for you?

✨ What if peace was actually possible? ✨

For so long, I thought peace was impossible.
My head was never quiet.
The noise. The racing thoughts. The heaviness.

And then… Access Bars.
My very first session felt like silence in my mind,
for the very first time in my whole life.

That’s the gift of Access Bars
and the magic of the Access tools —
a way to melt stress, clear the noise,
and create space for ease, joy to show up.

Would you like to know that peace too?
Would you like to feel your own reset?

💪 We make time to go to the gym for an hour or so.
We focus on the muscles we want to build,
and we really can create good muscle in that time.

Now imagine your life…
Everything you do, every day.
That is an actual 24-hour gym routine.
Tiny movements, over and over, building muscles for your life —
to best help you do what you do every day.

We are all born into the same body.
Looks mostly the same.
Made mostly the same.
But how we use our muscles — that’s what creates the build up.
Every job, every role, every habit uses some muscles and not others.
And that’s where imbalance begins.

We put so much s**t on our bodies for “malfunctioning.”
But is it really malfunction? 🤔
Or is it just muscles built up from the life we are presently choosing?

What if we may only require a muscular factory reset / balance every 6–8 weeks 🌀
to stop your life muscle build up from taking over —
before it breaks…
creating weeks, sometimes months,
of no money 💸, no fun 🎉, and a megaton of pain.
✨ What if your body — and all your muscles, and the way they work — are so much greater than you ever imagined?

⚖️ Book in for a Muscular Release + Body Balance session.
You can choose: 45 mins • 60 mins • 90 mins.

✨ What if things could be different? ✨

I used to carry every worry in my body.
Tight shoulders.
Clenched jaw.
Heavy chest.

It felt like that was just me.
Until I discovered Access Bars®.

Now I ask a question…
and the weight melts away.
Like the worry never even belonged to me in the first place.

That’s the gift of Access Bars®
and the simplicity of the Access tools.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign…
this could be it.

✨ Did You Know? ✨ That tension in your shoulders isn’t always about stress or suffering?

When you laugh, your shoulders bob up and down — they can’t help it.
When you get excited, they lift — sometimes your arms go up, even with a fist pump!

So if your shoulders hurt and you tell yourself it’s all from suffering, your mind can spiral back into all the struggles in your life… starting that obsessive chatter in your head again.

But what if there’s another point of view — one you haven’t considered?

👉 What if your shoulders are sore because you laughed your head off with friends the night before — on the phone, at a party, or over lunch?
👉 What if SHOULDER TENSION could carry joy, not just stress — because shoulders actually carry all OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL EMOTIONS?

That tiny shift in awareness can change the trajectory of your thoughts when you feel it… creating less tension in your body, more ease in your mind — and a brighter way to see the world.

💭 This is how the mind and muscles are connected.
💭 This is how pain and tension can trick you into doom and gloom.
💭 And this is why I love working with both the body — through muscular release — and the mind — by offering a different point of view — to create real change.

Here’s a fun experiment:
✨ Did you know anger is often held in the muscles between your legs and butt? Try saying “GRRRRR” where do you feel the muscles?. How often does your body actually gets sore in that area? 🤭

👉 What’s possible for you, right now, if you looked at your mind and body differently?

📅 Book your next session at Rusty’s Place – Cairns.
Let’s release the tension, shift the spiral, and open the door to something lighter.
