Pain and Restrictions

Home > Services & Info > Support > Pain and Restrictions

Following a cancer diagnosis and treatment, many people suffer with pain and restrictions. Our specialist Integrative Holistic Therapists can carry out Emmett /Bowen therapy to help alleviate pain and restrictions.

Bowen Therapy

is a technique where the practitioner uses thumbs and forefingers on precise points on the body to make rolling type moves which gently stimulate the muscles, soft tissue and energy within the body. These moves prompt the body to make the adjustments which help to re-balance, relieve tension and reduce pain.

Emmet Therapy

Involves the application of light finger pressure at specific points, referred to as “Emmett points” that enable gentle releases for common problems, which include neck, shoulder and back pain.

Auricular Acupuncture

Involves the insertion of very fine needles in and around the area of the ear. It can help reduce anxiety levels, help deal with fatigue and aid sleep.

Who can use it?

"Emmett therapy definitely loosened my shoulders and gave me better movement to lift my children. Everyday tasks are a bit easier as well."

"The Auricular acupuncture was great.  I can't believe I could achieve this level of relaxation. I can't take it in"
