Before a client even says a word, an EMMETT therapist has been trained to read their body.
It can start with something as simple as a handshake — often a small gesture, but one that can reveal tension, imbalance, or subtle restrictions that words might not. The muscles in your arms, how your grip feels, your strength and hesitations in movement… all of it tells a story.
From there, our eyes and hands continue their quiet assessment. The way you stand, the slight tilt of your hips, the curve of your shoulders… all of it can hint at stress your body has been carrying for weeks, months, or even years.
Even small movements can show patterns. Stiffness in a joint. Restrictions in range of motion. Subtle ways the body learns to compensate and protect itself.
Then comes touch. Using skilled hands, we feel for differences in muscle texture and tension. Some areas feel tight and rigid, others tender or fatigued.
Often, these clues appear before a client has even mentioned discomfort, and they help guide how the session begins.
This is just a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes in an EMMETT technique session. Every small observation helps us understand your body’s story and shape an approach that can bring release, balance, and relief in ways you might not have expected.
