Severe Lower back pain
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:
Lower back pain
Most important point description:
The client had intense lower back pain radiating down her legs and her legs felt weak.
Other symptoms:
She had pain between her shoulder blades and felt occasional pins and needles in her legs and hands.
Additional information:
She had been for injections in the space between lumbar vertebrae L4 and L5 in an attempt to ease the back pain but this made no difference. She brought a number of medical reports and x-rays and scans for her back, but there was no specific cause or diagnosis for the pain she was experiencing. She was prescribed Tramadol to manage the pain and was taking the maximum dosage.
Impact on life:
She found the continual pain debilitating and struggled to cope with her job as shop assistant and cashier and to keep going. She is a widow living on her own and doing her own housework as well. She struggled with shopping and had to lean on her trolley and found it very painful to stand in a queue for any length of time or to stand while preparing her meals.
Changes to symptoms:
During the first few sessions she often had severe leg muscle spasms while her lower back was being released. However, by the fourth session she was no longer needing painkillers to manage her back and leg pain. Over the following 4 sessions the weakness in her legs gradually reduced as did the pain and about 2 months after starting with BSR she was coming monthly for maintenance sessions, gradually improving and never needing to take any painkillers again and able to accomplish her daily tasks without pain.
