Headaches
Introduction to Body Stress Release
BSR is a non-therapeutic complementary health technique based on the principle that the body can heal itself. We identify lines of tension and release them. We don’t diagnose or treat conditions. We don’t do massage, prescribe medication, manipulate limbs or work with machines. The information below is drawn from reports given by the client on his/her BSR experience.

Case Study Information
Body zone:
Most important point:
Headaches
Most important point description:
This client has been suffering from intense migraines for long periods at a time where she had to sit in the dark .
Other symptoms:
She experienced dizziness, burning eyes and the left side of the neck was sore and stiff.
Additional information:
She had been for a brain scan because of the intensity of the symptoms. They found nothing. The client, before coming for BSR, had been for physiotherapy for a very long time, maybe for a year with no relief or little if there was any.
Impact on life:
This has effected the client’s ability to concentrate on her studies and it also affected her social life .
Changes to symptoms:
When the client came 3 or 4 days later for the next session her feedback was that she had experienced a right twitch on the face and the headaches had increased in sensitivity (pain) the first day after the session. The second day the pain and intensity had become less and by the third appointment the client was feeling much better. The client came back 7 days later and she reported that the weekend the pain had become so much worse that she almost blacked out. The neck pain was still there. She took pain pills at 3 o’clock in the morning. At the next visit the client said she had experienced pain on the left side of the neck down to between the
shoulder blades. She was experiencing pins and needles in her feet when she crossed her legs. After I had seen the client for 4 sessions the body started to do its self-healing work and adjustment. The unmasking of a deeper layer of tension in the muscles was in progress. The client stopped experiencing headaches and things had returned to normal.
Client comments:
The client said that the headaches had stopped and that it was a long time since she felt such relief from the pain on a daily basis
Insights – How the body can heal itself:
The body knows how to heal itself and Body Stress Release helps facilitate the healing process. The body heals in a very organised manner. There was stress in the lower back that caused the superficial muscles to pull on the shoulders and neck - especially the one side of the neck that put pressure on the nerves going up to the cranium. Once the lumbar (lower back) muscles started adapting to the releases and the unmasking of a deeper layer of tension in the muscles started there was a relieving of the pressure on the neck and a reconnection of the nerves connected to the cranium. For some clients the pain can get worse before it eases and the releasing of deeper layers of locked in tension happens in the body's own wisdom and the body's own time.
