WHAT IS BODY STRESS?

Body stress is a powerful factor in all our lives and can undermine our health and well-being in many ways.

Every day we are exposed to different types of stress:

  • Mechanical -such as injury, strain or bad posture
  • Chemical – such as air pollutants, additives or colourants in food, harmful chemicals in everyday products
  • Mental or emotional stress – anxiety, depression, grief
Our bodies are designed to adapt to these stresses in a positive way but sometimes we find ourselves overloaded by stress. In an effort to cope with this overload, the body stores the stress in the muscles. This is what we call body stress.

Body stress may lead to pain, stiffness, postural distortion, numbness and cramps. Tension in the muscles may put pressure on your nerves which disturbs your body’s communication system. This reduces the efficiency of your body’s self-healing ability.


Body Stress Release offers a gentle and effective way to help your body release stored tension from the muscles i.e. ‘body stress’.


Body Stress Release works with your body’s natural desire to be stress-free. Clients are often amazed that such a gentle technique can be so effective in relieving their aches and pains.

While you are lying down, fully clothed, your practitioner tests your body for stored tension. Then, by applying gentle and precise pressure to the affected areas, your body is encouraged to ‘release’ the tension.

This stored tension may be the cause of the discomfort you are experiencing including backache, neck pain, headaches, sciatica and cramps.

Body Stress Release is a complementary health care technique that was researched and developed in South Africa in the 1980’s by Gail and Ewald Meggersee and is now practiced worldwide.

THE APPOINTMENTS:

Your practitioner will book three initial appointments for you over a period of two weeks. It is important that you attend all three sessions as Body Stress Release works as a process.

During your first appointment, your practitioner will take a detailed case history. After the release, your practitioner will explain what they have found and give you advice on posture and show you some simple self-help techniques.

Responses are often rapid, although you may need further appointments depending on how your body responds and how long the tension has been stored. This is because the tight, protective layers of muscle, release gradually back to their normal state.
