Why Choose Me?


Rusty Lee Smalley – Access Bars and muscular release therapist in Cairns
Rusty Lee Smalley – Founder of Rusty’s Place.

I’m not here to just “do a treatment.” I’m here to meet you—the person beneath the pain, stress, or overwhelm.

 

For over a decade, I’ve worked with thousands of bodies and minds, blending relaxation for your body with the precision of Emmett Technique corrections and the deep clearing of Access Bars.

 

I bring not only skill, but the life I’ve lived, the challenges I’ve overcome, and the care that runs through every touch and every question I ask your body.

 

A session with me isn’t just about loosening a muscle or calming your mind—it’s about creating more ease than you thought possible.

 

Many clients leave feeling lighter, freer, and more “themselves” than they have in years.

 

What if one session could be the turning point for you?

 

How much more ease, movement, and peace could you allow—starting today?

What is Emmett Technique?


Emmett Technique muscular release therapy in Cairns – easing pain and stiffness
Emmett Technique – Fast, Effective Muscular Release.

FOR YOUR MUSCLES


The Emmett Technique is a remarkable form of body therapy that uses gentle finger pressure at specific points on the body. These sequences activate precise releases in muscles and fascia—alleviating pain, easing discomfort, improving movement and flexibility, and supporting the body’s natural balance (homeostasis).

 

What makes it so fascinating is that it aligns with the science of Critical Point Analysis—the understanding that in any complex system, there are key points where the smallest input can create the greatest shift. A light touch in just the right place? It can interrupt dysfunction, dissolve tension, and activate a whole-body reset—like pressing pause on pain and play on possibility.

 

I began my journey with the Emmett Technique in 2011. Since then, I’ve been privileged to witness transformations that words can barely capture. And honestly? This technique makes me look like a bloody miracle worker—teeeeheheee!

 

I blend Emmett Technique corrections with deep relaxation, years of intuitive awareness, and everything I’ve gathered from years of touching bodies and listening to what they truly need. My clinic isn’t just where pain ends—it’s where people reconnect to ease, possibility, and their body’s own quiet brilliance.

What is Access Consciousness Bars?


Access Bars session in Cairns – gentle touch therapy for stress relief
Access Bars® – Gentle Touch for Mind and Stress Relief

FOR YOUR MIND AND BODY


Access Bars® involves application of light finger pressure at 34 specific points points on your head. It's like hitting the delete button on your computer’s cluttered hard drive – only this time, you’re creating space in your brain. Things like negative thought patterns, or that endless mental chatter keeping you awake at night, can be released and make space for the calm you’ve been seeking.

  

Having a Bars session is relaxing and peaceful; imagine the after-effects of a great massage or walk in nature. At worst, that’s all you’ll feel! At best, you can feel a sense of total ease, unlike anything else, that starts to change your whole life. How does it get better than that?

 

Access Consciousness is worldwide and has completely changed, & is still changing my life in the most magnificent way every.... single... day..... 


I LOVE MY JOB!!!
