There’s something powerful about choice. 💫

When we choose to take action—no matter how small—we can create a response we never expected.

As Ross Emmett reminds us:

“We create an involuntary reaction with our voluntary action.”

Our actions can shift movement, change patterns, open possibilities, and create new outcomes.

So today, ask yourself: What small, intentional action could create a meaningful change? 🌿

Don’t underestimate the power of one voluntary action.

Sometimes, the most powerful message you can send the body is the gentlest one 🧠

When a muscle locks up, force isn't always the answer. The human nervous system is designed to protect us, and aggressive pressure can often cause muscles to tighten even further in self-defence.

The EMMETT Technique uses a light, highly specific touch to engage sensory receptors in the soft tissue. This sends an immediate signal to the brain to reset muscle tension - much like pressing a refresh button on a computer.

Why this approach gets results:
🔵 Minimal input - works with the body rather than triggering a defensive guarding reflex.
🟡 Neuromuscular reset - addresses the root cause of the restriction to allow natural movement to return.
🔵 Fast response - because the brain processes a light touch rapidly, shifts in comfort and range of motion can happen within seconds.

It is a smart, non-invasive way to approach physical discomfort that respects the body’s natural intelligence.

Episode 137 follows Steve Landells’ unlikely path from dairy farming, fitting and turning, and the bearing industry into remedial massage.
Steve joins us from Total Massage Care in Margaret River to talk about the conversation that helped him take the first step, the mentors who shaped his work, and what he learned from being thrown into a busy remedial clinic while he was still studying.
We also discuss regional practice, starting a business again, online booking, learning beyond formal qualifications, and why Steve still considers himself a beginner after many years in the profession. His approach has gradually shifted from hard, mechanical work towards gentler techniques that are more sustainable for his own body while continuing to serve his clients well.
For new therapists, Steve’s advice is practical: look after yourself, keep studying, seek out mentors, volunteer, ask to shadow experienced practitioners, and never assume graduation means the learning is finished.

You don't need a medical degree to help someone find physical comfort. 🧠

The human body possesses an incredible natural intelligence, and sometimes it just needs the right cue to unlock tension. The EMMETT 4 Humans Workshop is a practical, short course designed to teach everyday people how to safely and effectively relieve common physical discomforts.

What is covered in this hands-on, supportive environment:
🟡 Targeted releases - simple finger-pressure points to address restricted neck movement and tight shoulders.
🔵 Lower body support - quick assists to relieve tension in the hips, legs, and feet to help keep people moving.
🟡 Immediate application - practical skills you can use the very same day on family, friends, or teammates.

No prior bodywork experience is required - just a desire to learn a gentle, compassionate way to care for those around you.

EMMETT treatment can be very subtle and some clients feel that very little has been done, until the therapist re-tests the movement issues that they came in with and …. Wow ….. does that show up the difference. However, some people will take anything up to 48 hours to appreciate the full effects of such a gentle treatment.
