It appears that when a certain degree of nerve compression exists, there is a 'dampening down' effect on the nerves that connect the stressed area to the brain, so insufficient messages are relayed to the brain.

It is the purpose of BSR to locate the exact sites of tension and provide the correct stimuli to the area, in such a way that the brain registers the presence of the body stress and becomes aware that action needs to be taken.

Thus the body restores its natural state of balance and the normal flow of life energy, activating its inbuilt healing mechanism

Our is about *Neil’s struggle with what he thought was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
A problem in one area may have its source in a completely different part of the body.
*Neil, aged 40, owns a sandblasting business, and numbness of his left hand made his work difficult. He was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, a compression of the median nerve in the wrist area. Surgery was recommended, but he kept putting it off. As he had also lower-back and knee pain, he decided to try BSR. After the first session his knee was more painful, and he had sensation coming and going in the numb hand. It became quite painful after the next session, and he started feeling tightness in his neck and shoulders. Finally, after four sessions, his hand felt normal and there was no more pain in his knee. Three years later the hand is still fine, and Neil visits his BSR practitioner whenever he has a very busy period at work, as lifting heavy pieces of glass causes some re-stressing of his lower back.

We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.

THE BSR CONSULTATION
The Practitioner will take a clear case history before doing the initial body stress assessment.
Once the sites of stress have been mapped out and located, the practitioner performs a series of releases. This is done with a thumb or finger with a slight pressure or impulse. This initiates an organized sequence of messages to the brain, alerting it to the stored tension and encouraging the body’s self-healing response. The process is light but precise – the body doesn’t require a forceful stimulus to respond. As a result, the BSR technique may be used across all ages and levels of health from the very young to the infirm.
