Body Stress Release is a health profession concerned with unlocking the tension stored in physical structures, thereby assisting the body in restoring its maximum efficiency.
This gentle technique assists the body in its own healing process and brings effective relief from many forms of tension, pain and discomfort caused by the build-up of stress in the body. When the stresses of life, whether mechanical, chemical or mental/emotional, reach the level of overload, the body is no longer able to adapt constructively. The stress becomes locked into the physical structures, causing pain, stiffness, numbness or postural distortions. This stored tension has an impact on the nervous system and undermines the body’s natural ability to co-ordinate its functions and heal and maintain itself.
Body Stress Release brings effective relief from pain and discomfort from many different causes, including back pain, various types of stress and even sporting injuries.
Body Stress Release does not use medication or machines, nor does it involve massage, manipulation, pressure points or energy meridians. It is practical and logical. Body Stress Release uses information provided by the body to determine where stored tension may be undermining the efficiency of the nervous system, disturbing the body’s ability to co-ordinate its functions and perform at its full potential.

Body Stress Release is a unique complementary health technique that was researched and developed in South Africa in the 1980s by Gail and Ewald Meggersee and is now practiced worldwide. The need to develop this technique arose from Ewald Meggersee’s debilitating pain he suffered from, after he fell out of a tree at the age of five.
Body Stress Release offers a gentle and effective way to release stored tension from the body, thereby activating a process that restores and enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This stored tension may be the cause of the discomfort or other symptoms you may be experiencing including; backache, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, fibromyalgia, cramps, constipation, anxiety, stiffness when getting out of bed, dizziness while reading, a child fidgeting, inability to sit still – to name but a few.
Body Stress Release focuses on the body as a whole. The holistic technique is based on a great respect for the self-healing capacity of the body;
Body Stress Release does not diagnose or treat diseases, disorders and/or abnormalities. The technique is aimed at stimulating the body to release stored tension. It is therefore not an alternative to regular medicine, but a supplement to it.
Body Stress Release is performed by certified practitioners. They are not healers. Their responsibility lies in the perfect application of the BSR technique and in guiding the client during the BSR process.
Tens of thousands of people around the world have benefited from Body Stress Release since the Meggersees opened their first practice in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1981. Many of their clients, like Ewald himself, had tried traditional avenues of medical treatment without success. The Meggersees had developed a gentle, almost miraculous way of enhancing the body’s own healing powers by releasing long-held stress in the body. They knew it worked because their prime guinea pig, Ewald, had gone from being a near cripple to regaining his strength and having a pain-free body. Ewald used to say that his body continues to upgrade with regular Body Stress Release. Clients experienced the benefits of this amazing technique and word quickly spread. Their practice began to grow exponentially and it became clear that more practitioners were needed. The first course was held in 1987 and the number of Body Stress Release practitioners around the world continues to grow.

BSR is not the practice of massage or massage therapy, as BSR is not focused solely or primarily on the musculature, but is concerned with the buildup of stress in the body stored in physical structures, whether mechanical, chemical, mental or emotional in nature. Unlike massage therapy, BSR is not focused on the touch, palpation or movement of the soft tissue, but is rather a system of assessing repositories of stress or tension in the body by brief touch of specific points on the body, to activate the body’s own ability to heal and maintain itself. Nor is BSR chiropractic, as it does not seek elimination of abnormal functioning through adjustment or manipulation of the spine or adjacent tissue. In a sense, BSR is a much more passive approach than either chiropractic or massage therapy. It is a complementary health practice designed to trigger the body’s own self-healing
We make these for day 1, 4 and 11. Sometimes these three treatments can be enough to get rid of your complaints, but keep in mind that often at least 6 treatments are needed, but in other cases, it may take months for the body to shift.
The need for follow-up treatments and the frequency of these treatments differ per person. This also depends on:
