Article in the Bowen "In Touch" Magazine Autumn 2010

The Mendip Regional Interest Group (RIG) in Somerset recently invited Liz James to run a workshop for their members.  Liz is an Emm-Tech tutor, Bowen and Emmett Practitioner and Nutritional Therapist based in Somerset.  Liz had come along to one of our regular RIG meetings to explain a little about Emm-Tech.

She chatted about the usefulness of the Emm-Tech work, and how it could be used as a "stand-alone" technique by people such as fitness instructors, sports coaches and carers who would find it useful in their work environment.  She also explained how it can easily be used as an "add-on" by therapists to augment other modalities.  The idea appealed to all of us, and we invited Liz to hold a one-day workshop for us.

We had an information-packed day with constant hands-on practice, lots of laughs and not a few cakes!  Emm-Tech offered all of us some new resources to help with common but sometimes annoyingly hard-to-resolve problems such as neck and shoulder problems, knee and leg discomfort and poor balance.

We all felt we had gained significant new "tools in the toolbox" and were delighted to be able to bring these into our therapy work.  And in case the info we had been taught deserted us, just when we needed it most, we also received a useful course manual and an excellent DVD showing Ross Emmett demonstrating the moves himself.

Liz is a natural teacher, very well-informed and well organised.  The whole day went at a cracking pace, with never a dull moment.  If you are looking for an interesting new slant on your treatment techniques, and an excellent workshop, I'm sure the whole Mendop RIG would highly recommend an Emm-Tech day.  It's not often such a busy day is such a lot of fun!
