Nichola Friel - The Pain and Stress Relief Therapist

02/04/2026

I always find the story behind Body Stress Release so powerful, because it all started with someone who refused to accept that feeling stuck and in pain was just ‘how it had to be.’

And I see a version of that every single day.

So many people come in saying,
“I don’t know what I’ve done… but something’s not right.”

No injury. No clear reason. Just a body that feels tight, uncomfortable, or stuck.

And watching that change? It never gets old.

If you’ve been feeling like this, it might be your body trying to tell you something 💛

Feel free to message me if you’re curious or want to find out how I can help.

Ever wondered why your body sometimes feels “stuck” even when you’re not injured?

Body Stress Release (BSR) was born in Cape Town in the 1980s when Ewald Meggersee (an industrial chemist, not a doctor!) refused to stay crippled.

After a childhood tree fall left him in agony for 30+ years, he and his wife, Gail, created this gentle technique.

Today it’s practised in 16 countries… but it all started in SA!

“How is this different from other treatments?”

It’s one of the most common questions I get, and a really important one.

Many of the people I see have already tried other approaches. Some have helped for a while, but the issue keeps returning.

That’s often because the body is still holding onto underlying tension.

Body Stress Release works in a gentle way to help the body let go of those stress patterns, without force or discomfort.

Sessions are calm, relaxing and tailored to your body.

And over time, many people notice:
✔ Less tension
✔ Better movement
✔ Improved sleep
✔ A sense of ease they haven’t felt in a long time

If you’ve been living with something that doesn’t seem to shift, you don’t have to just accept it.

One of the most common things I hear from new clients is:

“I’ve tried everything… and nothing seems to last.”

And I completely understand that feeling.
Because often, it’s not about trying more things,
it’s about looking at the body differently.

When stress builds up over time, the body holds onto it.
That tension can sit quietly in muscles and tissues until it starts to affect how you feel and move.

Body Stress Release works gently to help the body let go of that stored tension, at its own pace.

Many people are surprised at how subtle it is…
and how much difference it can make.

If you’ve been living with ongoing discomfort, you don’t have to just accept it.
I’m always happy to have a chat if you’re wondering whether this could help you 💚

Wondering what a Body Stress Release session looks like?

Your session begins with a conversation about your body — including past injuries, accidents, stress, or medical procedures that may still be affecting you today.

You will then lie fully clothed on a Body Stress Release bed while your practitioner gently assesses your body using light pressure and subtle impulses.

These precise movements help identify areas of stored tension and encourage the nervous system to release stress.

After the session, your practitioner will explain what was found and guide you on the next steps to support your body’s healing process.

Think of us as translators — we listen to your body and help it communicate again.

Great post from Body Stress Release - South Africa - When your body is pushed hard.

WHEN YOUR BODY IS PUSHED HARD.

The nervous system can hold unresolved tension in muscles and connective tissue, affecting movement, recovery, and performance.

Body Stress Release helps the body release stored tension naturally — without force or reliving past strain.

BSR is a complementary performance-support technique that helps the body reset by locating and releasing areas of locked-in stress.

It is gentle, non-invasive, and suitable for all athletes.

Posture doesn’t stop when we leave the desk.

Long drives, commuting, sitting in the car or van, often with one hand on the wheel, leaning slightly, or with wallets, keys or tools in pockets, can quietly place strain through the lower back, hips and neck.

These things are easy to overlook because they build gradually over time.

How much time do you spend driving most days?
