Lisa continues to upgrade her qualifications in 2012. She completed Level 5 of The Emmett Technique in February. The Emmett Technique has changed how Lisa assesses her clients' needs and how she delivers her treatments. Clients have been blown away with the simplicity of the technique and the immediate relief they feel, even before the "real" masage has started. http://www.rossemmett.com.au.
The four treatments she offers are very different but each caters to a specific need. A combination of therapies may be used to achieve the best result.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle manual technique which helps restore the body's balance by effectively clearing toxins from the body, as well as helping to reduce fluid retention from a variety of causes ranging from PMT, oedema, lymphoedema, sinusitis, pre and post surgery or injury. It is particularly effective in reducing lymphoedema post cancer. Regular treatment can help to boost the immune system. MLD is tolerated well by patients who may find other forms of massage too painful. It is a slow, rhythmical treatment which makes it relaxing and therapeutic at the same time.
Benefits of MLD:
* Reduction in the size of limbs affected by lymphoedema
* Stimulation of the immune system
* Reduction in symptoms of sinusitis
* Reduction in fluid retention
* Assists in regulating hormonal imbalances in women
* Reduction in swelling and bruising post surgery
* Excellent for detoxification
The MLD treatment is given to a partially undressed client and careful draping is always applied. Powder may be used during the treatment.

Remedial Massage is a firmer massage that works deep into muscles, helping to relieve aches and pains due to stress or poor posture. The massage is tailored to suit the needs of the individual – a deep massage to release muscle aches and pains, or a more gentle massage for relaxation.
Benefits include:
* Stress relief
* Relief from muscle ache and pain
* Relaxation
* Increased immunity
Oils are used in remedial massage, therefore the client will be partially undressed, but always draped appropriately with towels.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Using a soft touch practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
What conditions does CranioSacral Therapy address?
* Migraines and Headaches
* Chronic Neck and Back Pain
* Stress and Tension-Related Disorders
* Motor-Coordination Impairments
* Infant and Childhood Disorders
* Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
* Chronic Fatigue
* Fibromyalgia
* TMJ Syndrome
* Scoliosis
* Central Nervous System Disorders
* Learning Disabilities
* ADD/ADHD
* Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
* Orthopedic Problems
* And Many Other Conditions
CST is administered to a fully clothed client.

The Emmett Technique is a unique body therapy created by Ross Emmett. The Emmett Technique eases pain and discomfort, increases movement and improves quality of life. The therapist uses light touch to reset muscles, either holding one or two points at the same time or "switching" across muscle or tendon fibres. This facilitates a change - either a switching on or off of the muscle, depending on what it needs at that particular time.
Treatment may be done while you are fully clothed, although some garments may need to be removed or loosened. Treatment may take place while you are standing, sitting or lying on a table. While individual experiences may vary, relief is often instantaneous.
The technique is a complementary therapy and works in conjunction with all therapies, or can be applied on its own. The technique often allows other therapies to work more efficiently.
