RELEASE TENSION. RESTORE BALANCE. RECONNECT YOUR BODY
Book Appointment
Our practice is built on compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of how stress affects both body and mind. Whether the stress is physical (from injury or posture), emotional (from trauma or burnout), or chemical (from diet or environment), it often becomes “locked” into muscles—disrupting nerve communication and overall function.
Safe, non-invasive technique—no manipulation or discomfort
Suitable for all ages, from infants to the elderly
Focused on long-term wellness by addressing the root causes of stress
A gentle, hands-on technique that helps the body release stored tension caused by physical, emotional, or chemical stress.
Over time, stress can become locked into the body’s muscles—often unnoticed—leading to discomfort, stiffness, numbness, poor posture, or even chronic pain. Our role is to assist your body in unlocking this stress and restoring its natural state of balance and ease.
By applying precise pressure to specific points on the body—guided by muscle response testing—we encourage the nervous system to "let go" of held tension. This allows for improved communication between the brain and body, supporting healing and restoring well-being.
Whether you're dealing with back or neck pain, fatigue, poor posture, or stress-related symptoms, BSR provides a natural, holistic path to recovery.

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 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.
When the body fails to adapt effectively to stressful circumstances stress overload is reached and the muscles may involuntarily clench in protective action. This muscular response is usually the body’s attempt to reduce mobility or limit movement of an affected joint, tendon or tissue.
As pressure is released from the nerves, the client may experience immediate relief from both pain and muscle stiffness, and even correction of distorted posture. Usually this is the case if the body stress has occurred recently – then the recovery process is very rapid and the muscle tone and equilibrium is quickly re-established.
We are all subjected to the stresses of living and therefore we all tend to accumulate stored tension, with a possible resultant decline in the body’s efficiency. Body Stress Release is suitable for all ages and all levels of health – even babies may have body stress after a traumatic birth or a challenging pregnancy. By attending regular Body Stress Release maintenance sessions the body is able to maintain a happy equilibrium and your over all quality of life may be enhanced.
BSR was founded in South Africa in 1981 by Gail and Ewald Meggersee who pioneered this life enhancing, non-manipulative Body Stress Release technique. BSR has grown to include practitioners in 22 countries, 3 international associations and 2 Body Stress Release training academies worldwide – this global growth is testament to the success of the technique.
