about us
Thinking of having a massage? Don't like the idea of being undressed or getting covered in oil? Well try Body Stress Release, a great alternative to massage therapy for Hertford and the surrounding areas.
Welcome to Body Stress Release - The alternative to massage therapy in the form of pain relief to achieve superior mental and physical performance, performed by Body Stress Release practitioner, Charlotte Richardson-Knott MISMA MBSRA BCMA.
What makes you decide to have a massage?
Stress?
Relaxation?
Aches and pains?
Massage therapy is great for all those things, but there is an alternative. A fully clothed alternative that allows the practitioner to explore the inner workings of the body's state, and release pain and stress build up that will bring untold relaxation to the person experiencing it.
There really is no way to describe Body Stress Release, it's different for every person and it needs to be experienced firsthand.
But there is one guarantee. Body Stress Release is a gentle and safe way to release the stress stored within the body. The receiver spends their time lying on a comfortable massage table, fully clothed except for footwear and aside from being gently asked to turn over halfway through, will not be disturbed at all. Over time the body responds to the treatment and gradually the built up stress is dispersed leaving the receiver feeling completely de-stressed and pain free.
To fully understand Body Stress Release one needs to look towards its origins in South Africa. In the Southern hemisphere recipients are much more open to more alternative and natural methods of pain treatment. It's because of this liberal attitude that Body Stress Release has become the top 3 most used pain relief treatments in South Africa, overtaking Osteopathy.
It's effective at relieving lower back pain, neck pain, migraines and sciatica, and this effectiveness is due to its hand in hand workings with the body by assisting the body to heal itself naturally.
If the idea of a massage appeals but the thought of getting undressed and being covered in oil doesn't, then experience this exciting and beneficial treatment that will leave you relaxed, pain free and distressed.

I have had the privilege and honour to be seeing Charlotte for Body Stress Release for the last 9 months. The releasing has been amazing, on many levels. As a painter and decorator my body can be pretty tight and stiff. Regular releases from Charlotte mean that I can live pain free, move and work easily and more importantly, sleep soundly. I cannot recommend this treatment highly enough, to me it's a no brainer; as a way of maintaining my physical, mental and emotional body. Keeping me functioning with ease in this tough world. Give it a try, I am certain you won't regret it. If nothing else, the hour spent on yourself in the delightful company of Charlotte will be worth it! B Murrell - Ware
Charlotte was recommended to me after I had suffered from intense lower back and leg pain for a few months, and conventional medical methods had not helped. To my surprise, her very relaxing and non-invasive treatment method improved my condition almost immediately. I am completely pain-free most of the time now, but any recurring pain is quickly remedied by occasional repeat treatments from Charlotte. I genuinely look forward to my appointments with Charlotte and would not hesitate to recommend her. S Goodrum â Bishops Stortford
I feel that Body Stress Release has made my back strong again and makes me conscious of how I move, sit, stand and sleep by showing me that it is all connected. I look forward to the sessions very much and see them as time for me to rest, heal and grow. T Andrews â Harrow
I have been going to Charlotte for body stress release for nearly a year.I feel my posture has greatly improved and my energy levels have increased. It is one of the most relaxing treatments I have ever had. This past year has been hectic and stressful and I know that I have coped extremely well, which I attribute greatly to Charlotte. She is also one of the loveliest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
I have had a very stressful year for various reasons and my neck and shoulders were extremely tight. Charlotte has been amazing in her ability to 'unknot' those muscles and to help me realise what I need to do to prevent a recurrence. She is a warm and friendly person, who I would recommend to anyone who has aches and pains which will not go easily. Check out the info - there is so much more to this than I realised!

After being diagnosed 3 years ago with MS, I of course was devastated and still have difficulty in accepting it. Thankfully for me I was passed a book called Body Stress Release. I read the book several times and could very much identify stressful times in my life would bring about a relapse. I now do Body Stress Release and am feeling better. It is not a quick fix but gradually I am beginning to feel like my old self again. Everyone carries their stress differently so it depends on your weak points â stress can build up and affect your health. J Mackay â Bishops Stortford
I can honestly say that my course of BSR sessions with Charlotte have been transformational. As a result, my physical health is stronger but what has impressed me the most has been the change in my emotional and mental wellbeing: I am calmer, more patient and happier! Charlotte is a very professional therapist who makes you feel safe and at ease from the very first session. I couldn't recommend her or BSR more highly. J Swales - Ware

When I met Charlotte for a course of her wonderful Body Stress Release she disclosed another aspect that she was adding to her business. Emergenetics. Intrigued I decided to have my profile done. All I can say is, the results really give you an insight into your social make up. The best way for me to decribe actually having a physical representation of my brain is relief. I know that's a strange way to describe it, but your Emergenetics profile is so personal that there is no one word to outline the feeling, I could talk for hours about the benefits of having my Emergenetics profile carried out.
