Body Stress Release

About the Body Stress Release technique

BSR is a new complementary technique pioneered in South Africa by Ewald and Gail Meggersee. This gentle technique assists the body in its own healing process and brings effective relief against all forms of tension, pain and discomfort caused by the build up of stress in the body.

Body Stress Release offers a safe, gentle yet effective way to help the body release muscle tensions. These tensions become locked into the body as a result of stress overload. With the person fully clothed and lying down, the practitioner carries out a series of tests to locate the exact sites of body stress. The practitioner can then determine the precise direction in which the lines of tension exist, using the body as a biofeedback mechanism.

A gentle stimulus is then applied to encourage the body to release the stored tension, thus assisting the body in its inbuilt ability to heal and maintain itself.

With Body Stress Release, muscles are stimulated in a way that takes the pressure off the nerves and life comes back into the muscles. This is why after a first release the client may experience some pain and discomfort. With the release of tension, feeling starts to return to the muscle as it adapts to a new state of suppleness and sensitivity.

At a second release clients frequently report a dramatically heightened sensitivity to pressure in the muscles. This is a good indicator to the practitioner that healing is taking place.

The applied pressure works on nerve impulses in the muscles. It is this activation of the nerves, which releases the compression in the muscles and explains the body's rapid response. Thus a more efficiently functioning nervous system assists the body in maximising its self-healing capacity.
If the body stress has occurred recently, the process of releasing it is usually very rapid. However, if the stress has been stored for a long time, the stress releases may have to be carried out over a period of time. This is because the tight, protective layers of the muscles tend to relax by degrees back to their normal tone.

Body Stress Release is for everyone from infants to the elderly, whether sick or healthy.

As we are all subject to the stresses of life, we all tend to accumulate stored tension, with the resultant decline in the body’s efficiency.
Therefore, everyone’s quality of life may be enhanced by being assessed for body stress and having it released from time to time.
You should NOTE: Body Stress Release is not a diagnosis or treatment of any condition or disease.

It is concerned only with locating and releasing stored tension, so that the body is assisted in its in-built ability to maintain and heal itself.
