Body stress is a powerful factor in all our lives and can undermine our health and well-being in many ways.
· Mechanical - such as an injury, strain, or bad posture
· Chemical - such as air pollutants, additives and colorants in food, harmful chemicals in everyday products
· Mental or emotional stress
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 can lead to pain, stiffness,
postural distortion, numbness and cramp. Tension in the muscles can put pressure on your nerves which disturbs your body’s communication system. This reduces the efficiency of your body’s natural self-healing ability.
WHAT IS BODY STRESS RELEASE?
Body stress release is a gentle, highly effective technique that locates and helps your body to release stored tension from the muscles i.e, “body stress.”
Body stress release works with your body’s natural desire to be stress-free.
Whist you are lying down, fully clothed (with your shoes on). I will conduct light pressure tests (mainly along your spine) to determine exactly where the tension is located. Then, by applying a gentle, precise pressure to the affected areas your body is encouraged to “release” the stored in tension.
HOW CAN BODY STRESS HELP ME ?
Body Stress Release is for everyone – from infants to the elderly. It is also safe during pregnancy. Body Stress Release clients are usually looking for relief from pain, stiffness or other discomfort. People of all ages and from all walks of life (including sportsmen/women) find Body Stress Release to be extremely effective.
Clients have reported relief from back pain, sciatica, ‘slipped’ discs, headaches, migraines, neuralgia, indigestion and restricted movement.
Other conditions that have improved with Body Stress Release include:
· Musculo-skeletal complaints including whiplash, frozen shoulders, repetitive strain injuries, hip pain, arthritis, neck pain, sports injuries, trapped nerves, scoliosis, bad posture, grinding of teath.
· Gynaecological disorders including fertility problems, painfuland irregular periods, menopausal side effects.
· Emotional problems including insomnia, anxiety, stress, general fatigue.
· Gastro-intestinal complaints including heartburn, indigestion, IBS, constipation, diarrhoea.
· Childhood complaints including colic in babies, poor posture, growing pains in children, bed-wetting.
Note – Body Stress Release is not a diagnosis or treatment of any condition. It simply assists with locating and releasing stored tension from the muscles.
THE APPOINTMENTS
I will book three initial appointments for you over a period of two weeks. It is important that you attend all three appointments as Body Stress Release works as a process.
During your first visit I will take a detailed case history. After your release I will explain what I have found and give you some 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 natural state.
