The Body Stress Release Foundation

Our Vision

is to make Body Stress Release available to people across the world, whom wouldn't otherwise have access to it. (For more information click on www.bodystressrelease.com)

Who We Are

The Body Stress Release Foundation was founded as a registered Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) in 2019 to ensure the sustainability of the Body Stress Release Outreach programmes and also; to sponsor qualifying students from communities around the world that would not otherwise have the financial means to study Body Stress Release.

The funds of the Body Stress Release Foundation will be used for the above purposes. No funds will be distributed to any person other than in the fulfilment of the aim and objectives of the Foundation. Our vision, aim and objectives are enshrined in our NPO Constitution. Read it here

Our Aim and Objectives

The BSR Foundation’s aim is to work towards the relief of pain and suffering, through the specific use of the BSR technique for disadvantaged communities.

The BSR Foundation’s objectives are:

  1. To improve the mobility, ease discomfort and pain thereby improving the quality of life. This is achieved by releasing stored tension caused by physical and emotional stresses. BSR is made available to institutions and schools for the disabled or disadvantaged.
  2. Provide BSR support and assistance to care workers of these institutions and schools.
  3. The BSR Foundation will support the training of practitioners for this purpose through a bursary scheme.
  4. Raise funds for the fulfilment of the BSR Foundation.

How did we start?

BSR Outreach programmes were initially founded by passionate BSR practitioners who wanted to make BSR accessible to communities around the world. Although our Outreach programmes initially focused on working with disabled children from the previously disadvantaged communities in rural areas, the programmes have been expanded to urban areas as well.

One of our practitioners established a separate bursary fund in order to support students at the five month training course at the BSR academy in the Garden Route in the Western Cape, South Africa.  This bursary fund is now managed by the BSR Foundation (More information about the BSR Academy

Through the Time+Tide Foundation (https://timeandtidefoundation.org/) the BSR Outreach programmes have been running twice a year to work with differently abled children in rural areas of Lower Zambezi, South Luangwa and Liuwa Plains. Since 2019 the Time+Tide Foundation has sponsored three people to study to become BSR practitioners, at the BSR Academy in South Africa. 

Can you help us?

The Outreach programmes have produced profoundly beneficial results within many establishments, with unexpected ripple effects positively impacting the lives of everyone involved. Our clients, their care givers and support staff have all felt the improvements BSR brings to their unique situations. With mostly self-funded Outreaches, our volunteer BSR practitioners are limited as to how much they can do.

This motivated us to registered Non-Profit Organisation called the Body Stress Release Foundation, to sustain and grow this humanitarian effort. We are appealing for public support to help our volunteer practitioners continue these projects within the communities where it is needed the most by donating. Donate now
