Body Stress Release

Unlocking Tension, Restoring Self-Healing

As we are all subjected to the stresses of living, we all tend to accumulate stored tension, with the resultant decline in the bodies efficiency.

Body Stress release assists the body with it’s in built ability to maintain and heal itself. it is a gentle procedure, where areas of the body’s stress are located using the body as a bio-feedback monitor. Light precise stimulation encourages the body to release stored tensions which usually manifests as backache, headaches, postural distortions or fatigues. Releasing is rapid but is stress has been stored for a long time, more releases may be required over a period of time.

The Body Stress release technique is designed to help the body release it’s stored tensions. With the person fully clothed and lying down the practitioner carries out a series of tests to locate the exact sites of the 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.

The practitioner then applies stimuli by means of light but definite pressure, in the exact directions necessary to encourage the body to release the stored tension.

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.

Emily Wilkin

Emily was born and raised in Gloucestershire and has always had a passion for alternative therapy. She initially trained in Block Clearance Therapy, a cognitive – based form of counselling. Having heard of the ground-breaking work of Ewald and Gail Meggersee, she travelled to South Africa in 2007 to study BODY STRESS RELEASE in Wilderness, a small town on the Garden Route.

Fear of becoming totally paralysed while still in his 30s led Ewald Meggersee, together with his wife Gail, to pioneer the body-wellness system known as BODY STRESS RELEASE (BSR). Since its founding in 1981, BSR has grown widely in popularity and has spread beyond South Africa and throughout the world. This gentle technique assists the body in its own healing process and brings effective relief against all forms of tension, pain and discomfort caused by the build up of stress within the body.

Emily has since returned to Gloucestershire and has been successfully applying the techniques of BSR, helping not only adults, but also babies and pregnant women. She is now practicing in the well established Prestbury Holistic Centre in Cheltenham, and hoping that more people will come to experience this revolutionary technique.
