| As a 'sports' person of limited ability & talent, one of the first things I noticed about Body Stress Release, was how it improved by ability to recover and overcome aches, pains and niggling injuries. |  |
In the army you are pushed every day and challenged to go beyond your limits, especially physically. "Go go go", and " persevere "! Only when you go through the pain do you reach the next level of fitness. And if you think your body can no longer do it, it actually has a bit more to offer. This same view is also common in many branches of sport. One of the biggest problems for amateur sports people is the failure to rest, and look after the body.
Actually you are taught: "Do not listen to your body, but tell it what you want it to do". But this is a wrong approach to the body. The body is miraculously assembled. It has a great self-healing ability that can only function optimally if we respect it and take good care of it and listen to what it means that is good for us.
When we drive a car we pay close attention to the temperature of the car, check oil level and petrol level because we know that an overheated car or a car without petrol will not bring us far. This we should actually do the same with our body. We can buy a new car but there is only one of our bodies and we can not replace it.

During sports activities, the body is exposed to many different types of stress. All people have a different point where stress becomes too much. If stress becomes too much, the body will protect itself by sticking muscles over a certain area and thus limiting the mobility of affected joints. During that process the stress can be stored in the body. If there is more tension than the body can handle, it is stored in the system.
In a report on sports injuries recognized by the European Community, the following conclusion is reached: "In most sports, it is not the question whether an athlete will overcome his injuries, but when and to what extent an injury will occur. Many of the injuries are not caused by a sudden event, but by what is generally known: excess. This means that a certain part of the body simply can no longer handle the regular pressure of the training without "getting stuck".

| Back pain, for example, is common among weightlifters, golfers and tennis players. Both golf and tennis require a repetitive quick turn in the movements. This can cause stored tension in the body if it is not performed properly. This tension can eventually lead to lower back and shoulder complaints. |  |
Children and teenagers are often asked too much during sports at school or sports clubs, which can fix physical 'stress' in the body. Because they are young, we do not see this as stress. The symptoms that the children receive are then described as "normal",growth pain, headaches, abdominal pain.
Sports activities can also lead to emotional stress. This is then caused by competition in the sport, having to perform and having to win at all costs and disappointment / frustration due to loss or not being in shape.
The third category of stress is chemical stress. Chemical stress can be caused by, for example, dehydration or too much fluid intake, but also by inhaling exhaust fumes during jogging or inhaling other unhealthy substances.
But still, all the possibilities that sports people have to build up stress and get injured do not weigh up against the health importance of sport. So how can you intensively practice a sport as much as possible and at the same time take good care of the body? Regular visits to a BSR practitioner provide a number of benefits.
To begin with, a release of the muscles gives new energy. If muscles tense themselves to protect a certain part of the body, it costs the body a lot of energy. Energy that should actually be available improve sports performance. If the muscles are released through BSR and thereby relax again, extra energy is released, which benefits improved sport performances.

A tightened muscle has only a small part of its stretch capacity. This stretch capacity and the suppleness of muscles is greatly improved by BSR. This, again, increases the performance level.
One client, a 36-year-old man, was a runner and suffered from a tight hamstrings. He told us that he did exercises every morning to stretch the hamstrings. He did this by touching his toes with stretched legs. He could hardly believe that this exercise actually only aggravated the problem. The exercise of touching the toes caused, by bending the back so far, more irritation of the nerves in the lower back and thus caused the problem in the hamstring because the nerves from the lower back to the legs. After treatment with BSR and stopping the exercise, the man discovered that he no longer suffered from his tight hamstrings.
Body Stress Release helps faster recovery after exercise, and allows athletes and sports people perform to their optimum level, with a better understanding of the integral functioning of the body and how to care and respect the body.
