I lost three babies; I tried Hector’s emotional release.

The following is the experience of a journalist who writes for a magazine for heath care professionals. Healing Through Water   A Journey of Release and Restoration   I recently had the opportunity to experience a truly unique therapy with Hector Wells, an experienced osteopath and cranial sacral practitioner. Hector Wells BSc (Hons) DO focuses on paediatric manual therapy, low back pain, sciatica, and manual therapy for mental well-being, combining scientific understanding of the ‘Dive Reflex’ with a deeply intuitive approach to healing.   A Gentle Introduction At the start of the session, Hector explained what to expect in a clear and reassuring way, which immediately put me at ease. He also demonstrated some of the techniques, showing the flexibility in my legs — I had no idea I was that flexible! There is nothing quite like some copper and water to loosen muscles and ligaments, and it made the therapy feel accessible and fascinating from the very beginning.   Addressing Long-Held Grief I came to Hector seeking support for grief I had bottled up over the years. After identifying specific events and the ages when they occurred, we focused on these moments during the therapy. I didn’t need to disclose the details; simply directing my attention to these experiences was enough to allow the process to unfold.   The Science Behind the Therapy Hector’s body water therapy is based on the diamagnetic properties of human tissues. Using hands, copper, or water-filled devices, the session activates the Dive Reflex, promoting deep relaxation, lowering heart rate, and reducing stress. The therapy combines gentle touch, biophysical interactions, and multi-hand techniques, creating a therapeutic window for the body to release tension, reset the nervous system, and respond effectively to treatment.   Emotional Release Technique Hector has also developed the Emotional Release Technique, a powerful manual therapy rooted in the multi-practitioner effect. This approach provides lasting relief from complex grief, PTSD, and disc injuries, addressing both emotional and physical pain. The technique works by helping clients move past overwhelming trauma or long-standing emotional issues, restoring balance and calm. It is particularly beneficial for:

• Complex Grief: navigating profound loss
• PTSD: releasing emotional and physical imprints of trauma
• Disc Injuries: relieving physical pain often linked with emotional stress

Refined over Hector’s 35-year career, the Emotional Release Technique offers a secure and effective path to recovery for both body and mind.  The whole technique is based on the ‘Die Reflex’; a primitive reflex which drops the body into a deeper ‘parasympathetic’ state, whole body relaxation. Every mammal exhibits the dive reflex when water is placed on the outside of their body.    My Experience once treated The effects were immediate and profound:

• Emotional and physical lightness: I felt noticeably lighter as soon as I got off the practitioner’s table.
• Emotional release: On the way home, I had a blubber, emotional and tired, unsure exactly why I was crying.
• Grounding support: That evening, a hug from my husband helped me feel settled and grounded.
• A little self-care: Some retail therapy lifted my spirits further.
• Physical relief: That night, for the first time in years, I slept with no back pain, which has not returned.

  A Transformative Approach Hector Wells’ therapies reminded me that our bodies are intelligent and responsive. By combining subtle, science-backed touch with focus on both emotional and physical blockages, his methods help clients feel restored, realigned, and profoundly calm. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic tension, emotional release, or long-standing trauma, Hector’s body water therapy and Emotional Release Technique offer a gentle yet powerful path to healing.     Hector Wanted to add the following.  The ‘Dive Reflex’  once activated forces the body into a relaxed state, this makes the tight sympathetic tension  generated by the chosen traumatic event appear in a body structure not normally as relaxed.  The emotional tension is out of sync with the new  body tension (Dive Reflex) and this new equilibrium enables the body tension to become unstable, once the physical tension (from the emotion) collapses the ‘ upsetting thought’ can’t  recreate the same sensation of connection and it feels as if you are ‘free’ of the historic event. The grief or anxiety just disappears, the event become too distant to connect with. The release if very predictable, seems always to works No ‘sharing’ or ‘conversation’ of the traumatic event is required. Water is a ‘diamagnetic’ and ‘dielectric’ material and copper is a ‘diamagnetic’ and double plus atom so the body ‘thinks’ the copper is similar to water and so the ‘dive reflex’ is activated with proximity to copper. The “Dive Reflex” is activated by a diamagnetic material, water ,copper, gold etc.
