Bio-Stress Release

Bio-Stress Release is a gentle form of bodywork for releasing tension and easing pain. It works by gently taking the body back through the movements which were involved in creating the problem in the first place, but under safely controlled circumstances and without the need to know what caused it.

​Once the most comfortable position for the part affected is located, the trapped energy gently unlocks and the body can move and flow again with ease.

From the body’s preferred position, the practitioner can identify precisely which muscle the body’s holding pattern is trying to protect. Tiny movements are made slowly, without opposing the preferences of the body, and without the need for forceful or painful adjustment, until the point of release is found and the muscle relaxes.

​Bio- Stress Release can be integrated into massage as a gentle way to undo "knots",  or offered as a modality on its own through loose or stretchy clothing.
