Body Stress Release (BSR) addresses various pain conditions, from disc issues, back pain, sciatica, muscle tension, to headaches, or systemic conditions such as heartburn, IBS or bowel, bladder or fertility issues. BSR assists with down-regulating the adrenal fight/flight response and as such, those suffering from emotional stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia or fatigue also benefit from BSR. The underlying premise of Body Stress Release (BSR) is to optimise the body’s nervous system – by encouraging the release of tension (“stored body-stress”) which typically disrupts the body’s natural homeostasis. In the consultation the BSR practitioner performs a series of neuro-muscular reflex tests (to ascertain the underlying muscle stress) and then carries out a series of directional impulses which initiate a release in muscle tension and triggers a healing response. It may take a few sessions before there is lasting change (particularly if the body has been subjected to trauma/ operations or wear and tear over the years) but as the deep seated tension starts to release, one gradually starts to experience improved energy, decreased pain, and improvements in mobility and flexibility and general function.
