A Note From Tara's Mum & Dad....

Posted in Emmett 4 Animals News on February, 2014

We wanted to share this with our EMMETT Community to remind you that the EMMETT Technique is beneficial for both people and animals... We would like to share with you an email that Tara's parents forwarded to the McIntyre Centre. 

Ross Emmett was attending the McIntyre Centre in November last year and whilst there he spotted Tara who was involved in the program "Riding for the Disabled"... Ross asked if he could possibly help Tara also...

"Many thanks for Saturday, I must give you some feedback as you saw that Ross 'looked at' Tara.  Caroline and myself had often said that we felt that Tara had an underlying spinal condition, this we have constantly been told was wrong.  Tara's diganosis was at 2 years of age, Caroline saying (from when Tara was about 9 months) that something was wrong and saying to every specialist that it was at the base of the skull, she was more correct than many of the 'professionals' we saw in that time.

As you saw, we said about Tara's legs, specifically her hamstrings, Ross disagreed and said it was the base of her spine. Well...its now 4 days after her treatment by Ross and the difference is still very marked.  To get Tara in and out of our car involves firstly trying to adjust her legs to allow the seat to turn, the legs being so stiff that you can not move them without using both hands and considerable force, in the mornings you move carefully down the hallway carrying Tara as her legs are ridged.  At nights spasms can cause her to wake.

Since Saturday Tara has sat better upright, she appears to have better control over her arm movements and her legs are not anywhere near as tight as they were before the treatment.  The difference is incredible.  I can not stress how amazing this has been.  Regards, Dave & Caroline (Tara's Dad & Mum)"
