After the first 45 minute session the pain in my hips had gone. It’s worth just giving it a go. 

Rik

I am the most cynical person that I know, but by the 3rd session I had no pain walking for the first time in 20 years. 

Nicky

I’m a professional violinist & I’ve always suffered with my back. For several years now I’ve been totally pain free. 

TESTIMONIALS

Laine is a compassionate listener and helped me to understand more about why I might carry pain in my back and shoulder rather than just massaging and sending me home. I have suffered with this pain for years so need a series of treatments, but felt the benefits straight away and I am going back for more!

I had an extremely painful neck problem which was initially treated with physio. This failed to solve the problem and I was referred to a consultant neurosurgeon who prescribed strong painkillers and then, post an MRI, a steroid injection. However, following recommendations from friends I went to see Laine. As a result, the pain has gone away, I have not taken painkillers since and have not had the steroid injection. The body stress relief approach has worked for me so much so that my wife is now seeing Laine to help her manage her 20+ year TMJ pain. I highly recommend Laine and the solutions she has delivered to deal with acute pain.

A friend recommended BSR and I have found it so beneficial I am pretty much recommending Laine to anyone I know to try this out. My IT band was so tight I couldn’t put my own sock on but within 3 sessions it had totally released. Laine has also given me a general awareness of the balance of my body which helps avoid new issues. You don’t even need to have an issue as it’s a great way of understanding and maintaining your body and couldn’t recommend Laine and BSR highly enough. Give it a go.

Laine knows about pain. Not just how to treat the acute stuff with BSR but how to strengthen your resistance against it. Don’t live with it. Book in.
Jude

Laine is helping me with my arm that’s been painful and lost a lot of mobility thanks to RSI. She’s been amazing, really sustainable improvement with exercises to keep it getting better. So much better than a quick fix, what Laine teaches you is how to avoid pain in the first place as well as deal with it long-term. Can’t recommend enough.
Lou

Laine is great. My frozen shoulder was eased after three sessions. I'll go back for more though as a holistic check-in as it were. And because I felt about a foot taller when I left. The exercises she gave me to practice afterwards have been so helpful too. What's more she's a knowledgable and reassuring presence. Recommended whether or not you're injured or just getting a bit creaky.

I have been using BSR for many years to help with my lower back issues and have nothing but praise. It’s a gentle and effective way of realigning your body and I love the holistic approach which really allows you to connect with your therapist.
Debbie

The Body Stress Release technique is amazing - I still don't know quite how it works, but that's not important because it just does. And Laine is a wonderful therapist, making you feel instantly relaxed and in safe hands.
Laura

After my first session with Laine, having had a pretty thorough discussion of all of the ills that beset me and a 40 minute release I came out feeling better than I had in years. Relaxed, significantly less encumbered by pain and much more aware of my body and how it could/should function. It was a little weird as my limbs were able to move differently and I was feeling things that I hadn't before. The discussion about chasing the pain (helping your body work its way back though years of injuries and in my case overcompensation for lack of movement) made a lot of sense. As I went through the next few days and began to work out what had loosened up and how it was affecting me I did begin to feel different aches as my body got used to re connecting with bits it had given up on but Laine talked me through this and helped me understand where and how my body was healing. After a year of pretty agonising plantar fasciitis I woke up the next morning and walked for the first time without pain.
Three sessions later I am now not only a firm convert to the pretty astonishing techniques of BSR, but a man who for the first time in 20 years feels no pain, and is getting back in tune with his body.
Please give it a go. It will change your life.
Rik

Laine has really helped me. I suffer with TMJ pain and she has introduced me to some really good techniques to release my pain.
Her approach is very warm and kind. I found her easy to talk to - she explained how our bodies hold stress and how our nervous system is triggered - it was a relief to hear that I was not alone and that I could do so much to help myself.
I would highly recommend The Body Space - Laine really has made a big difference to me.
Louise

I can’t tell you how much Laine has helped my shoulder/arm. It’s not felt this good in years, I’m keeping up the sessions once a month, as I can’t let it go back to what it was like before. Just brilliant.
Melissa

Laine is simply brilliant at helping me relieve any pain I have (physical and emotional pain!) and it's clear that she genuinely cares about helping people. I've been seeing her for months now, so I hope this review will help anyone put aside their doubts and try a session.
The space she creates has always been safe and comfortable and I leave the sessions feeling overall much better and calmer. Continuing to do some of the exercises in between sessions has really helped my shoulder and back pain (lower mainly) and I feel much more at ease in my body compared to my first session.
There have been times where my back has completely seized up and I could barely walk, let alone do something flexible like bend down or turn around. Sometimes I'd wake up the next day slightly better trying to "sleep it off", sometimes not. It usually happens after long periods of sitting uncomfortably. The most recent time was after a 4 hour flight. I was lucky enough to see Laine the same day and literally 30 minutes of BSR fixed it to where I could move normally again... I cannot describe how amazing that is.
She clearly understands the connection between stress, emotions and the rest of the body and has created such a holistic practice with that knowledge and experience. It's not just a massage which doesn't tackle the root cause of whatever pain you're feeling. It's a real examination into where the physical or emotional pain sits in your body and a very gentle way of approaching and releasing it.
She has given me the hope and confidence that I don't need to live with my pain as if it's normal. I know so many people in pain who could have their lives completely changed so I just hope more people will let her help them.
I always find it ironic how true The Good Body Space is to its name and I'm so happy I found her!

Laine is excellent at what she does. She made me feel very relaxed, but also confident in her knowledge. She is explained in detail how the treatment worked, she listened to all my comments and answered all my questions in detail. The whole concept of stress release is very interesting and I have benefited from it greatly. She is a very calm, kind and professional person.
Liz

I had some stiff back issues and was open to a new treatment to have it assessed.
It really helped and eased my lower back pain and Laine was very informative and professional. I would certainly recommend!
Alistair

I've been suffering from reoccurring back and leg pain for as long as I remember. When I'm training for my bike races it gets worse forcing me to habitually take painkillers to race. After 4 sessions it has gone and now I use Laine’s services to help me recover (maintenance) from long 100 mike plus rides. Didn't think it was fixable after trying everything but it is. Highly recommended.
Michelle

I have suffered from lower back pain for more than a decade. Having seen countless osteopaths, chiropractors, doctors and specialists to frustrating lack of success. West Pier introduced a technique I was honestly sceptical before hand but the results have been fantastic. The service is non invasive like many other treatments and suited to your personal needs. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Five stars and she deserves each and every star! She IS a star.
