When the nervous system is overloaded and on alert
Bodily Distress Syndrome is a term for conditions where you have physical symptoms that can be very bothersome and affect everyday life, but where doctors can't find a clear explanation in the body - such as inflammation, fractures or other specific disease.
For example, you may experience:
Even if there is no "visible" explanation in blood tests or scans, the symptoms are very real and can be very stressful.
Bodily Distress Syndrome is typically caused by the body's nervous and alarm systems becoming hypersensitive - like when the body reacts to illness even though there is no injury.
It can be related to long-term strain, stress, previous illnesses or something else entirely. It's often a combination of biological, psychological and social factors.
Each programme is uniquely tailored to your history, goals and needs. This means that the different treatments and priorities are selected based on your current stress and symptom patterns and life situation.
There is no quick fix for stress and bodily distress syndrome. That's why we set aside plenty of time for each session, allowing time for your questions, treatment and analysis.
Clients often find that they are easily misunderstood by others because they can't demonstrate a clear injury, nor is there anything conclusive in their blood work or scans. We will therefore spend time understanding your condition and your symptoms so that you become stronger within yourself. It also helps to create a clear and holistic treatment plan.
As the nervous system is typically overloaded and on alert, it's important that you are comfortable and ready for the treatment programme.
That's why all Stress Programmes start with a free, no-obligation consultation, so you get answers to your questions and are ready to make a decision.
If you've suffered from long-term stress or diffuse pain, you're probably familiar with some of these situations:
It's incredibly difficult to feel at home in your own body when you're bombarded with different stimuli from all sides: strong emotions, racing thoughts, disturbed sleep, fatigue, body discomfort, stomach aches and pains that move around the body.
Although the symptoms are hard to understand and doctors can't find the root cause, there is hope.

For over 100 years, we've known that your life experiences affect your body. Muscles develop differently for each of us, giving us a unique appearance.
Our bodies are affected by the work we do, whether we do one type of physical labour or another. We are also affected by the things that have stressed us for a long time.
We can think of your body as your very individual bodily fingerprint. There is no one else like you, and that makes your body and your stress experience unique. There is no one-size-fits-all list or treatment strategy that works for everybody.
Some researchers explain how our body reacts differently to the input we receive. In a study of bodily distress syndrome, the 10 most common symptoms were found to be:
Stress and bodily distress syndrome are complex, and every body and every life is complex, which is why our programmes are tailored to each individual client.
