Body Stress Release offers a gentle and effective way to help your body to release stored tension from the muscles i. e. 'body stress'. This stored tension may be the cause of discomfort you are experiencing including: backache, neck pain, headaches, sciatica and cramps. Body Stress Release (BSR) is a complimentary health care technique. While you are lying down, fully clothed, your practitioner tests your body for stored tension. Then by applying a gentle and precise pressure to the affected areas, your body is encouraged to "release" the tension.
