Clients report relief from lower back pain and sciatica

Clients often try BSR for relief from frozen shoulders or pain and stiffness in the upper back

BACK PAIN
Ruth, aged 36 years "My back first 'went' when I was 19. From then on, it locked up about three times a year. X-rays and scans showed nothing wrong, so I learned to live with it. When it 'went' for the 40th time, I didn't recover - I couldn’t move and was in constant pain. BSR is the only technique that helped me. I felt immediate pain relief and regained substantial mobility after only five releases. I have had regular releases for 14 months now and so far this the first year in 15 years without a backfailure!"

Jill, in her mid thirties, had experienced back problems for 20 years. Her neck muscles regularly spasmed causing headaches, her lower back was stiff and sore and she had intermittent sciatic pain. At times the muscles between her shoulder blades went into painful spasms. She also complained of fatigue. After three months of regular BSR, she reported that the headaches were greatly improved, the sciatic pain had withdrawn and she her mid back had not spasmed at all during this time period. "I'm so much more energetic too - BSR has made a huge difference to my life".

A 31 year old woman had walked with one foot rotated outwards since a car accident in her teens. She frequently woke with her lower back in extreme pain and had to be helped out of bed. She underwent regular BSR for three months and her foot gradually returned to a normal position, and her buttock muscles, which had been wasted, had rebuilt.

RESTRICTED MOVEMENT
Mrs X, aged 74 years, had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s which she thought was at the root of her mobility problems and weakness in her arms. On her first visit, she could only lift her arms to touch the sides of her neck with great difficulty. She also suffered from what she described as a ‘wooden head’ – the left side of her skull was numb – and an excessive production of saliva. Her posture was stooped and she had great difficulty twisting or looking upwards. After her fourth release the tension in her neck began to ease and the numb patch on her skull began to tingle as nervous communication was restored. The excess saliva had also settled. After the seventh release she found she was able to raise her hands above her head for the first time in years, her head felt fine and she had experienced no further saliva problems.

NECK PAIN
“At first, I was extremely sceptical about BSR, but I can honestly say that it’s had an amazing effect. For years, I have had a painful neck especially when turning my head to the left. After three visits my neck feels great and I’ve been sleeping like a baby. Thanks Annabel!" Tim, West Sussex.

CHEST PAIN
Joe (42 years old) had had a constant pain in his chest for two years. Medical tests were negative. Body stress was released in his lower back and rib areas “I was stunned! After just three sessions of BSR my chest pain was completely gone -Unbelievable! I also feel stronger and more flexible at the gym”

HEADACHES
"After three years of intense headaches 5-6 times a month I was willing to try anything. The GP had diagnosed my problem as "tension headaches" but offered nothing to address the cause. Long courses of osteopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture and deep tissue massage had helped a little, but the headaches persisted several times a month. I was amazed how quickly BSR seemed to help. It took several months of regular appointments for the headaches to stop completely, but the severity of the pain reduced early on and I was able to carry on with the day rather than having to lie down". Rachel aged 35.

LEG PAIN
A 48 year old man was experiencing such intense calf pain that he was unable to walk. He was not aware of any pain in his lower back. A week of traction in hospital had not eased the problem. After the first session the lower back became very painful as feeling was restored to numbed nerves. The calf pain was unchanged.
After the second session, the pain withdrew from the calves and was felt in the hips, thighs and the lower back. After a third release, the pain in the lower back began to lessen. The final session was three days after that. Within two weeks the client was pain-free and was able to return to work.

ABDOMINAL PAIN
James, aged 32 had experienced intense abdominal discomfort for 18 months. Medical tests were negative and he was given a diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. “I tried BSR as a last resort really – I wasn’t at all convinced it was going to help me. At first I thought I was imagining the improvements I noticed and put it down to drinking less coffee at work. However, after four releases I had to admit to myself that the pain really was better. I would thoroughly recommend Annabel!”

SLEEP PATTERNS
Mrs L (aged 66 years) was very restless at night, but habitually fell asleep in front of the TV in the evenings missing even the most riveting programmes much to her frustration! “I had no difficulty getting sleep once in bed, but often woke 2 or 3 times in the night finding it hard to get back to sleep. After my second release with Annabel I felt unbelievably tired and slept heavily. I then found that I was still "doing" things until 11.00pm or so – no napping at all - and I was sleeping through until after 6 00am – something I’ve rarely done in a long time.”

PAINFUL PERIODS
36 year old Linda - ”My periods were hell: extremly painful and with terrible cramps. I tried to cope by taking painkillers before my period started, but always ended up in bed anyway. My BSR practitioner explained the relationship between the severe tension in my lower back and the pains in my abdominal region. After 15 releases, the cramps stopped and after 20 releases, I had no more pain. I can't believe it - I don't have to put my life on hold for 4 days a month anymore!”
