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:
Depression
Most important point description:
Depression set in especially after losing her family home and then her own home because of her financial situation, divorce and maternal issues.
This seems to cause a lot of anxiety, stress, self blame and loss of self. She has discomfort in the neck, shoulder and mid back as well as lower back pain, especially during stressful times.
Other symptoms:
The client also experiences left shoulder rotator cuff pains.
Additional information:
Anxiety, stress, self blame and loss of self are continuously part of her thought processes. She is struggling to deal with relationships and when pushed into an unfamiliar area she will run away from it.
Impact on life:
She struggles to sit or stand or do her normal exercises. She struggles to focus for as long as she used to be able to do. Her work and personal life are taking strain.
Changes to symptoms:
Changes to the posture and pain in the client's body occurred continuously between the first to the 8th session where the pain had subsided completely and the distortion faded away completely. The client speaks more positively and appears more confident. She is also enjoying her sport and exercises more.
Client comments:
I am so happy about not having the constant pains in my back and neck area. I'm really enjoying my bowls and exercises now. BSR has really been tremendous and I'm so grateful.
Insights – How the body can heal itself:
The body knows how to heal and Body Stress Release helps to facilitate the healing process. The body heals in a very organised manner and does the healing in its own time, following its innate wisdom. The body intelligence focuses on the different areas that need healing as seen by the continuous changes to posture and pain. And the client experienced healing of not only the physical body but felt mentally and emotionally stronger too.
