Body Stress Release George - Healthy Living at Symonds

Body Stress Release George - Healthy Living at Symonds When the stresses of life - whether mechanical, chemical or mental/emotional - reach the level of overload,the body is no longer able to adapt constructively.

Body Stress Release is a natural, non invasive technique that focuses on releasing stored muscle tension to stimulate the nervous system and prompt the body's natural healing response. Body Stress Release is a health profession concerned with unlocking the tension stored in physical structures, thereby assisting the body in restoring its maximum efficiency. This gentle technique assists the body in its own healing process and brings effective relief from many forms of tension, pain and discomfort caused by the build-up of stress in the body. The stress becomes locked into the physical structures, causing pain, stiffness, numbness, headaches or postural distortions. This stored tension has an impact on the nervous system and undermines the body's natural ability to co-ordinate its functions and heal and maintain itself. Body Stress Release brings effective relief from pain and discomfort from many different causes, including back pain, neck pain, headaches and various types of stress and even sporting injuries. Body Stress Release does not use medication or machines, nor does it involve massage, manipulation, pressure points or energy meridians. It is practical and logical. Body Stress Release uses information provided by the body to determine where stored tension may be undermining the efficiency of the nervous system, disturbing the body’s ability to co-ordinate its functions and perform at its full potential.

“To benefit fully from the body’s capabilities we need to accept responsibility for our lifestyle choices and realise that we do influence our state of health. To deny this responsibility would be to see yourself as a victim of your circumstances. This would lead you to seek an external solution and to believe that someone else will heal you. Of course, outside assistance may help, but it is your own body that does the healing. When we accept responsibility we access the power that lies within us.” Gail Meggersee -Self-Healing with Body Stress Release.

WHAT IS BODY STRESS RELEASE?

Your body remembers stress — even when your mind has moved on.

Body Stress Release (BSR) is a gentle, natural technique that helps the body release deeply stored tension caused by physical strain, emotional stress and chemical overload.

Over time, this stored stress can interfere with nerve communication, movement, energy levels and overall well-being.

Using precise, gentle pressure, a trained Body Stress Release practitioner identifies areas where the nervous system is under strain and assists the body in releasing this tension.

There is no manipulation, force or medication involved.

BSR doesn’t treat symptoms — it supports the body’s natural ability to repair itself by restoring clear communication between the brain and body.

What’s in it for you?
✔ Less pain and stiffness
✔ Improved mobility and posture
✔ Better energy and sleep
✔ A calmer, more balanced body

As human beings we are made up of three aspects - body, mind and emotions. These are, of course, interconnected and interdependent. When we have a physical experience, it also affects us mentally and emotionally; something that has a mental or emotional impact will also reverberate into the body.
When body stress is present, not only are there physical effects, but one’s mental and emotional well-being are undermined. After the physical tension is released, some people become aware of greater mental clarity. Others feel an emotional lightness, or a surge of enthusiasm for life as energy levels rise.’ - Gail Meggersee

There is a constant flow of thousands of nerve impulses to the brain, both from the surface and from within the body, and a flow of commands from the brain to all parts of the body. In BSR we seek to restore nerve communication and promote optimal health, through self-healing.

Body Stress Release is a complementary technique that unlocks built up body stress caught up in the structures of the body that has reduced function through nerve dampening. It Unlocks this tension and so frees up the suppressed nerve endings to communicate with the brain efficiently once again and in so doing, helps the body heal itself.

Our this Friday is about *Jonothan who described his many years of back pain as excruciating. A 49 year old builder, he had sustained several spinal fractures in the neck, mid back & lower back in landmine traumas. His left knee locked up in a bent position when he walked and his right leg alternated between numbness and burning. He also had severe shoulder-joint pain. Over many BSR sessions during the next 7 months, the sensations in the different areas varied; just as certain ones improved, others became worse. Just when the pain was finally receding though, he made the mistake of lifting a large pot with his back twisted. For a while he was in agony, but several sessions later he turned the corner. Two years after he began, he finally reached the point of only a little back pain and more flexibility and mobility. He joked with his practitioner that no matter what he was feeling, she told him that it was ‘wonderful’. If there was pain she reassured him that communication was being restored when there was no pain she told him healing was taking place. He reached the point where he could laugh at whatever he was experiencing and see how it was just another step in his healing journey.
