Body Stress Release is an effective method of reducing accumulated stress and tension in the body, to assist the body in restoring its self-healing capacity.
When body stress is present, there is constant undermining of our well-being – physically, mentally and emotionally. Thus freedom from body stress promotes a better quality of life in all these aspects.
Have the stresses of everyday living become overwhelming?
Do you sometimes feel old before your time, have joints that feel like they need a thorough oiling, difficulty in getting out of bed in the morning or perhaps felt that your 'get up and go' may have 'got up and left'?
The good news is that these are not signs of aging as we are sometimes led to believe, but purely signs of accumulated stress and tension, easily reversed with Body Stress Release.
Clients have found that their enjoyment and quality of life is enhanced through regular sessions of Body Stress Release.
People often ask what Body Stress Release is like, and whether it compares to any other healthcare technique that they may have tried. To fully understand Body Stress Release, it needs to be experienced. It is completely unique and offers a safe, gentle yet effective way to assist the body and mind to release stored tension which has become stored over time, as a result of stress overload.
The impact on the nervous system undermines the body's co-ordination and ability to function efficiently. This may affect an individual's quality of life or sporting abilities and cause intense pain, stiffness, numbness, inflexibility, burning, fatigue and discomfort throughout the entire body.
There is no forceful manipulation, machinery, medication, massage, or side effects. An initial detailed case history helps reveal the possible origin and root causes of the problem. Then with the client fully-clothed and lying down, a series of light pressure tests are performed to locate the exact sites of stored tension. A light, but definite manual stimulus is then applied to encourage the body to release this tension, thus assisting the body and mind in its in-built ability to heal and maintain itself. Clients are amazed that such a gentle technique can be so effective.
Particularly successful in relieving lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension, migraines and sciatica. Whilst Body Stress Release is neither a diagnosis nor a treatment of any specific condition or illness, it assists the body in restoring its self-healing capacity.
Body Stress Release has been researched and developed in South Africa since 1981, and in that country, it is mainstream, having built up a cooperative relationship with medical practitioners and specialists, with a large percentage referring their patients for Body Stress Release.
In the United Kingdom, Body Stress Release is a member of the British Complementary Medical Association. For further information, please call Charlotte, who is based in Ware, on 01920 460 458 or 07858 160133.

Since going to Charlotte Richardon Knott for body stress release treatments I feel wonderful. My posture has improved and the treatment leaves you feeling relaxed and yet with more energy. If you are suffering with any kind of body aches or pains, don't reach for medication, do try Charlotte, I know she will make you feel so much better. She is also the nicest human being you could ever wish to meet. Lynn Bound
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 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
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 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
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 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! P Charman â Hoddeson
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
