Just completed a magic four days of 'finishing' the advanced Emmett modules with the man himself, Ross Emmett. There's no 'finishing' when it comes to what I can learn because every body presents a whole new learning for me as it has its own story and its own unique way of healing. That's what I love about Emmett Technique...there is no set recipe but I'm equipped with ingredients that can, with the correct mix, lead to such wonderful results.

Would you like to learn how to improve flexibility and relieve pain in 8 hours? Annette Ball is offering EMM-Tech courses in Ipswich and Brisbane. A fabulous day of learning and 'Wow' moments await!! Don't miss out - places are limited.

A huge congratulations to new practitioners who completed the Module 6 review on Saturday (a few neigh-sayers-Emmett horse therapists- in the group who are now more comfortable with the 2-legged clients!) Sunday was a day of discussion and problem solving, which led to fantastic outcomes! Ahh the wonderful world of Emmett Technique!

Now we're getting to the really specific in-depth Emmett modules and this group took to them like ducks to water. Well done, team! So thrilling!

Now we're getting to the really specific, in-depth part of the Emmett modules...and these practitioners took to it all like ducks to water! So thrilling! Great weekend, team!

Gary is a passionate practitioner and instructor of Emmett for horses who divides his time between here and USA. He is also a fabulous people practitioner. We know that it's important for the partnership of horse and rider to be in balance. A great interview on the US Today Show. On ya, Garry Wells!

I know that I keep banging on about the benefits of exercise...there's so much evidence to support it!

A really interesting read.

Fun mentoring EMM-Tech today...complete with tiaras!

An interesting article from Natural Therapies Pages about posture. I have many clients who sit at a desk all day or who comment on their 'bad' posture. Regular maintenance treatments are very effective in keeping the body aligned and helping the body to resist the effects of everyday life/work. Many of us spend our days hunched over computer screens (or art tables or school desks or microscopes…) And unfortunately, our modern life means a higher risk of poor posture. So if you’re feeling a little stiff or sore, try these steps to better posture: 3 Steps to Better Posture Start seated First, work on improving your seated posture. When we slouch, slump, or simply sit in the wrong way, we put stress and strain on our muscles and tissues. This can lead to long-term posture problems and even injury. Here’s how to improve your seated posture: Adjust your chair so it properly supports your back Ensure your knees are just lower than your hips, when your feet are flat on the floor. Move your chair to the right position, so you can type with straight wrists and forearms. Get used to keeping your feet on the floor – or use a foot rest if you need. Ensure your screen is at eye level, about an arm’s length away from you. Never slouch! Take a posture photo Have someone take a photo of you standing still, so you can pinpoint any posture problems. As explained in this article, you might like to march on the spot for a few beats, so you can get an accurate snapshot of your stance. Study the photos to see if your head, shoulders, back and hips are in total alignment. If not, look for: Swaying too far forward with your hips Sticking your butt out Hunching your shoulders forward Rounding/curving your shoulders Pitching your head forward Tilting your head to the side One shoulder higher than the other One hip higher than the other Feet and ankles facing out or in (they should be straight) Get the proper alignment There are different stretches you can do for each of the problems above. But for the best results and improvement, it’s worth seeing a specialist. A physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor are an example of the practitioners who can help you get into better alignment – and improve your posture.
