| The Consultation - R250 per session With the person fully clothed and lying down, the practitioner carries out a series of tests to locate the exact sites of body stress, and determines the precise directions in which the lines of tension exist. This is done by applying light pressure to various points on the body, and observing the response. In this way, the body acts as a biofeedback mechanism, supplying the information required. The practitioner then applies stimuli, by means of light but definite pressure, in exact directions to encourage the body to release the stored tension. If the body stress has occurred recently, the process of releasing it is usually very rapid. However, if the stress has been stored for a long time, the stress release may have to be carried out a number of times, over a period. This is because the tight, protective layers of the muscles tend to relax by degrees back to their normal tone. Because Body Stress Release works with the body’s natural striving to be stress free, it is a gentle procedure that does not require force. NOTE: Body Stress Release is not a diagnosis or treatment of any condition or disease. It is concerned only with locating and releasing stored tension, so that the body is assisted in its in-built ability to maintain and heal itself. |

| In addition, for babies The BSR practitioner carries out the checks and releases while the baby is lying on the mother’s chest or lap. The pressure applied is very light and comfortable for the baby. After the stored stress is released a baby will often fall into a sound sleep. Small children cannot always verbalise what they are feeling, but the parents may observe signs indicating the presence of body stress. For example, a normally good-natured child will become sullen and unco-operative, or the child may talk about a “funny feeling in the tummy”, or complain of sore legs. Children enjoy experiencing BSR as it is a gentle procedure and they become aware of how different they feel once the stored tension has been released. Often a small child will be aware of the body stress and will ask to be taken for a BSR session. Babies & children respond very quickly to BSR, as the pressure has not been present in the body for a long time and is readily released. R250 per session |
