Body Stress Release

Stress becomes a negative, destructive factor in life when it goes beyond the individuals’ ability to adapt to it. Overload is reached and instead of the stress being released from the body it becomes stored within the body as “body stress”. As we differ in our emotional and physical make-up, we have varying degrees of susceptibility to stress overload.

Body Stress Release assists the body in its in-built ability to maintain and heal itself. It is a gentle procedure, to locate the areas of body stress using the body as a biofeedback monitor. Light, precise stimulation encourages the body to release stored tensions, which usually manifest as backache, headaches, postural distortions or fatigue. Releasing can be rapid, but if stress has been stored for a long time, further releases may be required over an extended period of time.
