At 32 *Christine had suffered intense, ongoing facial pain for 4 years. It dated back to the birth of her child who had an incurable terminal condition and required constant nursing. As the wife of a high-profile executive, her life was filled with other stress. She was frequently called on to play the role of hostess for important clients and provide gourmet dinners at short notice. Her GP diagnosed her with Trigeminal Neuralgia. This was confirmed by a specialist who recommended a drastic surgical procedure. Certain nerves of the face would be severed, which would terminate the pain, but there was a slight chance of loss of control of the facial muscles. There was another option which was regarded as somewhat experimental, in which the nerves would be injected with a toxin. As *Christine could no longer tolerate the pain, she was ready to agree to one of the procedures when a friend suggested she give BSR a try first. The practitioner found her neck and shoulder muscles to be rigid and extremely sensitive to the touch. Tension was also stored in her lower spine. Although the areas released ached quite intensely, the facial pain lessened and there were fewer stabbing sensations. By her third session, there was no more pain in her face. She felt only stiffness in her neck and lower back. During her fourth session, *Christine was a changed person. She was cheerful and relaxed, and looked 10 years younger. She mentioned that her last session had brought on an intense emotional release, and she cried copiously. Somehow she now felt more capable of dealing with her difficult life situation.
