Body System Reset Space Retha Bodenstein Pta East

Clients often experience less pain, greater ease, and a steadier, more resilient system.

My passion & skills support your body and nervous system through gentle, hands-on work that releases tension, calms mental overload, and supports self-regulation. I qualified from the Body Stress Release Academy SA in September 2009, and since 8 August 2025, I have been practicing independently from the Body Stress Release Voluntary Association. This next chapter is an exciting time of growth and renewal — continuing the same heart-based work I’ve offered for over 16 years, with an even deeper focus on the body’s natural ability to restore balance and self-healing. 🌿

My work supports people who live with:
✨ Persistent tension, pain, and discomfort anywhere in the body
✨ Fatigue, stress, and burnout
✨ Headaches, debilitating migraines, neck or back pain
✨ Sciatica, nerve compression, and referred pain
✨ Emotional and physical overload

Through gentle, hands-on stimulation that help regulate the nervous system, I help the body release stored tension, restore communication, and regain its innate capacity to heal. Each session is done with respect for the body’s wisdom — no manipulation, no force, simply working with the body to bring it back to ease. I’ve had the privilege of helping clients of all ages — from babies to seniors — experience life with less pain and overwhelm, plus more freedom, calm, and vitality. This practice is guided by honesty, my true heart, compassion, integrity, and a belief that true wellness begins when the body feels safe enough to heal. If you’ve been carrying discomfort, stress, or tension that doesn’t seem to shift, your body may just need a little help to reset.

Leadership pressure becoming physical tension

When you carry responsibility all day, your body carries it too.

Managing people.
Managing outcomes.
Handling pressure that does not switch off when you leave work.

That tension builds up in the body:
• tight shoulders
• a stiff neck
• a constant underlying strain

Over time, it becomes your normal.

Access Bars gives your system permission to stand down.

You lie down.
I gently hold specific points on your head.

And your body receives a clear signal that it is safe to release.

Clients often experience:
• deep relaxation during the session
• a quieter mind
• less physical tension

For an hour, you are not responsible for anything.

If your body feels the weight of your role, this is where you reset.

You switch off the lights…
but your mind does not switch off.

Replaying numbers.
Recalculating.
Trying to close loops that never seem to end.

If you work with detail and precision all day, your brain does not just stop because the day ends.

That constant mental processing keeps your nervous system active.
Which is why sleep becomes shallow, interrupted, or restless.

Access Bars helps your system slow down.

During your session, specific points on the head are gently held, allowing your brain to shift out of overdrive.

Clients often notice:
• mental quiet
• deeper sleep
• waking up more refreshed

Not because you forced it
but because your system finally had space to reset.

If your brain does not switch off at night, this is where you start.

Body Stress Release

By Thursday afternoon your shoulders feel like cables.

Tight.
Pulled.
Constantly holding.

If your work involves:
• detailed design
• long hours at a desk
• ongoing client pressure

This is not random.

That tension is not just muscular.
It is neurological.

Your body is holding stress patterns that have not been released.

Over time, that tension becomes your normal. Until it starts affecting:
• movement
• comfort
• even your focus

Body Stress Release helps the body let go of that stored tension.

By stimulating specific points, we support the nervous system to release what it has been holding.

Clients often say:
“My shoulders feel lighter.”
“I did not realise how tight I was until it released.”

If your shoulders are constantly tight, your body is asking for support.

Body Stress Release

Lower back pain that travels into your glutes or down your leg is not something to ignore.

Especially if your day looks like this:
• driving for hours
• loading and lifting
• standing on site

That pattern tells us something important.

It is not just “tight muscles.”
It is often stored body stress affecting nerve pathways.

When tension builds up in the body, it can start to interfere with how the nervous system communicates. That is when pain begins to travel, refer, or shift.

Body Stress Release works by helping the body release that stored tension.

No force. No manipulation.
Just a gentle stimulus that allows the body to reset and restore proper communication.

Clients often notice:
• less pulling into the leg
• reduced stiffness
• easier movement

If your pain is moving, your body is trying to tell you something.

Your body and your mind are not separate systems.

That tight neck.
That lower back pain.
That constant overthinking.

It’s all connected through your nervous system.

Some clients come in for pain…
and realise how much stress their body has been holding.

Others come in because their mind won’t switch off…
and realise how much tension is sitting in their body.

Different entry points.
Same system.

That’s why I work with both:
• Body Stress Release (for physical tension and pain)
• Access Bars (for mental overload and internal noise)

Because real change happens when the system is supported as a whole.

Body Stress Release and Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain that just won’t settle?

Not always an injury. Not always “age.”

Often, it’s accumulated body stress - tension patterns held in the muscles that begin to compress the nervous system over time.

That’s when things start to feel:
• tight
• stiff
• restricted
• or constantly aggravated

Even when you rest.

Body Stress Release works with your body - not against it.

Through gentle, targeted stimulation, we help the body release stored tension so communication can restore… and healing can begin.

No force. No manipulation.
Just your body doing what it’s designed to do, once interference is reduced.

Imagine moving freely again, without that constant pull or discomfort.

Body Stress Release for long-hour professionals

Long hours.
Screens.
Responsibility.
Minimal recovery time.

Neck tightness.
Shoulders braced.
Lower back stiffness.

One client who works long corporate hours shared:
“I thought my tension was just part of my job. After a few sessions, I realised how much strain my body was holding.”

High-functioning professionals often normalise discomfort.

Your body shouldn’t have to compensate forever.

If your work posture is starting to show up physically,
don’t wait until it becomes chronic.

Stress doesn’t stay local - Body Stress Release

Neck tension can trigger headaches.
Lower back stress can refer into the legs.
Jaw tension can influence the neck and shoulders.

The nervous system is interconnected.

When one area is overloaded, compensation spreads.

Treating only the symptom doesn’t always resolve the pattern.

Body Stress Release focuses on where the stress is stored, not just where it hurts.

When communication restores, symptoms often shift.

If your pain pattern feels inconsistent, that’s not random.

Mechanical stress vs Emotional stress - Body Stress Release

Your body doesn’t separate stress into categories.

Mechanical stress:
• poor posture
• long hours sitting
• repetitive strain

Emotional stress:
• responsibility
• conflict
• pressure
• unprocessed events

Both tighten muscles.
Both affect nerve communication.

Over time, stored tension becomes symptoms.

Body Stress Release works by helping the nervous system release protective tension — whether it began physically or emotionally.

The body responds to safety.

When safety increases, tension decreases.

When rest still feels like effort

You sleep.
But wake up tired.

You take a break.
But your mind keeps running.

You lie down.
But your body still feels braced.

That “tired but wired” feeling is nervous system overload.

When the system hasn’t felt safe to downshift, rest doesn’t restore.

Access Bars helps your brain move out of overdrive.

When mental pressure reduces:
• sleep deepens
• reactions soften
• clarity improves
• energy stabilises

If rest hasn’t been restorative for a while, that’s information.
