About AJB Therapies

My name is Alex Barrie. I have years of collective experience as a Sports Massage Therapist, Emmett Therapy Advanced Practitioner, Emmett For Dogs Practitioner & Instructor, Personal Trainer, Strength Coach and Corrective Exercise Instructor. After spending 8 years working in an office-based environment, in 2013 I became sorrowfully aware of how little time most of the people I encountered took to look after their bodies.

I identified the 4 main issues as:

Lack of Movement

Injury Recovery

Poor Nutrition

Stress

 I moved to the in the fitness industry to create a company that would help individuals adapt their lives positively to incorporate the aforementioned 4 areas. Unfortunately, shortly after getting my first job as a gym instructor, I suffered terrible hip and back pain and restriction which prohibited proper training for a good 6 months. However, using a combination of Corrective Exercise Techniques, Emmett Technique and other treatments I overcame the issue and am pain-free to this day.

 I use the same methodology that helped me to permanently overcome my restrictive pain to help those who approach me for advice. There is no big secret. By identifying the cause of pain and restriction and Treating it, Correcting any postural imbalances that may aggravate said cause and then Training the body to become stronger, I have found many people can be helped to (in some cases permanently) overcome conditions which prohibit enjoying life to the full.

Whilst learning the highly effective Emmett Technique I discovered the therapy was used to treat animals. After attending my first Emmett 4 Dogs course and seeing the amazing, often immediate results, I was hooked. Immediately, I booked on to the entire practitioner course and now treat dogs for a whole range of ailments. I am now an Emmett 4 Dogs Instructor and teach owners and professionals alike how to help their 4-legged friends with use of the Emmett Technique.
