Sadness and Dystonia
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.

Impact on life:
Changes to symptoms:
When I brought him up, the tears were streaming down his face. When questioned by his mom as to why he is crying - he said 'I was thinking of my grandfather'.
I spoke to his mother the following day. She told me the following: You gave me back by boy - he is talking, laughing and smiling. He even started playing with the children in the complex. She told me that this was the first time he has actually shown emotions since losing his loved ones, when he started crying while having a release.
When he came for his 2nd release, there was a different boy, he waved, got out of the car, embraced me, ran into the practice room, stood on the platform exclaiming with a big smile on his face 'I am ready' A complete transformation took place.
The involuntary muscle contractions in his upper back were completely gone after his 2nd session.
Client comments:
The mother, who is a client, was totally amazed by the transformation of her boy, after just one session.
Insights – How the body can heal itself:
Aside from physical and mental stress overload, the body is also able to release and heal emotional stress overload. This is a 6 year old boy who experienced severe trauma by losing loved ones. The way he coped was by removing himself and retreating. Once the emotional stress overload was released he was transformed into his happy and joyful state.
