Acid reflux, back pain, and numb feet
Muscle tension can be the cause of a lot of pain and discomfort in your body. A 75-year-old man came for Body Stress Release with reflux symptoms (heartburn), pain in the right side of his chest that radiated to his back, tension headaches and numb feet. After only a few Body Stress Release sessions, the man had no more pain in his body and his numb feet had improved significantly, as well as his sense of well-being.
Stress factors and consequences
Often, stress and/or anxiety cause the body to store tension in the muscles. Many people don't realize that emotional stress affects the body directly, and if someone experiences long-term stress or traumatic events, it can be stored as tension in the body. Stored tension can also lead to pain, stiffness, and discomfort. For more information about why Body Stress Release, click here.
How Body Stress Release works
Your therapist will test the muscles in your body to determine where the tension is. This is done by using the body's own biofeedback system that allows your therapist to determine exactly where the tension can be released. The releases are gentle and are done with the hands. During the treatment, any tension in the muscles that may put pressure on the nerves is released. This allows the nerves to recover to their optimal function, and THAT is when healing begins.

Client Feedback
At the second Body Stress Release session, the man indicated that his stomach acid symptoms had improved but came back intermittently. The pain on the right side of his chest had improved slightly, the tension headache had completely disappeared and there was a slight improvement in his numb feet. On the third visit, the man said that he had experienced severe dizziness and nausea. This could be the result of pinching certain nerves that, now that the tension was released, began to respond again and thereby caused temporary dizziness and nausea. His reflux symptoms and the pain in his chest and back were gone. The complaints of numb feet continued to show signs of improvement.
A positive result
By his fourth appointment, all the pain was gone and his numb feet had improved by fifty percent. The man explained with jubilation that he had restarted some of his old hobbies that he had no longer been able to do, and that his overall sense and sense of well-being had improved significantly!
