Back pain/Musculo-skeletal pain

Having been hit by a car as a child and now in his early 50s this client had lived with severe back pain for most of his life. It was so bad that he could not get upstairs to bed and he had to sleep on the floor downstairs.

As well as calf cramps, shoulder pains and headaches, the most uncomfortable complaint was that if he touched or knocked the area on his lower back (sacroiliac joint), he would feel a very sharp stabbing pain and his legs would almost give way.

At his first session, the client found the area too sensitive to be worked on. However by the fourth session, following 'releases', he was prodding the area excitedly as there was no sharp pain or discomfort, the stabbing pain had gone, and he had not had any calf cramps in the night.

The client regularly attends for 'a maintenance release' every 4-6 weeks as he feels his body is improving all the time and he feels fitter now than he did 20 years ago.

A 53 year old housewife came for Body Stress Release, complaining of a bad back. She had been hosing the garden when her back had gone into a spasm. She needed help to get up and into the house.

The client came for BSR the next day. Walking very slowly and carefully and obviously in a lot of pain, she needed to use two sticks. Her posture was pulling to one side and she could not straighten up. 'Body stress' was 'released' in the lower back and neck areas.

On raising the BSR hi-lo couch, she reported a definite improvement in the reduction of pain.

At her second visit two days later, she was only using one stick, walking at a more normal pace and standing without having to lean on the stick.

At the third visit, another two days later, the client arrived with no walking stick. She was standing upright and not leaning over to one side and she reported that the pain was only noticeable when standing or sitting in an awkward position.

A 43 year old female came for three sessions of BSR. She was complaining of lower back pain, which she had experienced for six years, had stiffness in the morning, hip and neck pain. After each release, she expressed 'amazement' at just how much the pain had improved, with the result that by the 3rd appointment, there was no back, hip or neck pain. The client has started to recommend BSR to other friends as a result.

At the client's second appointment, she mentioned in passing, that she had been experiencing a pain in one of her knuckles for some time. This area was worked on and after just one session, the pain was gone; and a year and a half on, she has had no further problem.

The client has recently returned to BSR, following a fall downstairs, which resulted in a bruised buttock and pain in her lower back.

A four year old boy came for BSR as a result of a tobogganing accident. X-rays taken by the doctor had shown no broken bones but internal bleeding in the leg, which the doctors had advised would heal itself within 2-3 weeks. At the first appointment, the child was unable to weight bear and was experiencing some pain. Basic BSR 'releases' were carried out, with the mother reporting that within four days, the child was running around and obviously not in any pain. By the time of the second appointment, seven days after the first, the child came in without the leg brace, walking perfectly and reported that the leg was 'much better, thank you!'

A 46 year old female secretary, who played golf regularly came for BSR reporting lower back pain, various sensations down the legs and stiffness in the upper back. In total she came for three sessions of BSR. After the first session, the lower back felt much better, although there was still stiffness in the upper back. By the third session the lower back pain had gone and there were no more sensations down the leg. Her sleeping was also much improved and there was less stiffness in the upper back.

The client has maintained her visits once a month. Apart from occasional stiffness, there has been no reoccurrence of the original problems and the client has continued playing golf.

Practitioner: Paula McLoughlin

A pregnant 24 year old came for BSR complaining of constant lower back pain, sciatica and pins and needles in her left leg and arms. Various 'releases' were carried out and on the second visit, she reported that the lower back pain and stiffness was only now noticeable down the right hand side and there was much less pain in the morning, although it did get worse during the day, probably due to her being six months pregnant. By the third appointment, the client was overall much improved, with no pins and needles and her sleep patterns were much better.

"I really thought that I had to live with this back pain for the rest of my life.
Now after coming for BSR my back if fine, my headaches are gone and I feel like my old self again. Thank you!"
