BSR
Reawaken your Good Body

What is the Body Stress Release technique?

Sometimes the body(-mind) holds on to pain because the initial cause, the ongoing tension and the repercussions have overwhelmed your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Body Stress Release (or BSR) is a gentle bodywork technique that helps your body release tension and let go.

The BSR technique uses a very precise pattern of ‘releases’ that re-engage the brain with areas of the body where tension has become stuck or chronic. These releases are done as a slight pressure or impulse using the thumb or fingers, and they feel good! BSR is a safe technique that can be used across all ages and levels of health.

Who can benefit from BSR?

BSR helps to relieve tension caused by physical injury and body stress, as well as tension caused by psychological and emotional stress. 

Great for: 

  • General aches and pains
  • Back pain
  • Growing pains
  • Migraines
  • Tension headaches
  • Neck pain 
  • Sports injuries
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Chronic pain/tension
  • Pain related to habitual poor posture/movement
  • Pain related to perimenopause & menopause
  • Pain related to autoimmune conditions

BSR is a process

Are you after a short-term fix or real change and reconnection with your body? The answer to this question will help you decide where to invest your time and money.

Along with your BSR sessions we’ll look at your posture and movement habits and you’ll learn how to make small changes so you don’t recreate the same issues.

Feel good again

I have a certificate in Humanistic counselling from the Gestalt Centre in London. Some clients benefit most from combining talking with hands-on therapy.

I am a Level 1 certified clinical somatics teacher and use this along with polyvagal theory, breathwork, qiqong and pilates to provide you with a set of tools to keep yourself feeling good in your skin.

No matter how unfit, unmotivated or unlucky you believe you are – and no matter your age – your body is willing and wonderfully able to let go, get better, get stronger and pain free. 

Laine Redpath

We’ll work by taking your story into account. In a completely real sense, we are our bodies and everything we’ve been through is there with us and in how we communicate about it.

After an obvious trauma – like a fall – or a not so obvious trauma – like an accident in childhood or an emotionally traumatic past incident – the body responds in the same way: by sending us messages of pain and by tensing up, protecting. The mind may eventually disconnect from that pain, but the tension (whether in the mind or the body) perhaps remains and we suffer the consequences.

By working to reconnect the body and mind using all the tools I have available, we work together to reconnect and realign so that you can make you feel good again.”

Testimonials

Having suffered with chronic back pain that hadn’t responded to osteopathy, physiotherapy, pilates and NHS consultants I had pretty much given up trying to find relief… I had 4 sessions and have been completely pain free for 7 months now. I’m still amazed! I feel so lucky and grateful to have met Laine. She transformed my life when all else had failed. 

Helen Brooks

I had three sessions with Laine and for the first time in over a decade I haven’t had a single panic attack, not one. In moments that usually trigger them, they (miraculously) haven’t occurred. Laine’s sessions are the most soothing and comforting experiences. It’s like having a massage! She is truly gifted and I can’t recommend her practice enough.

Juliette Nicholson

During my first session I felt a vivid ‘unwinding’ sensation in the small of my back and noticeably afterwards, aside from feeling wonderfully relaxed, was aware of how effortlessly I was able to hold good posture. Now, a week after my third release, the pain in my lower back has completely gone and my shoulder has regained most of its mobility.
