Evander brings relief to Polokwane with non-invasive stress therapy

POLOKWANE – Evander Coetzee, a 28-year-old body stress release practitioner, is helping residents find relief from stress and chronic pain through a gentle, non-invasive method focused on the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Coetzee is one of just two practitioners in the city, and one of four in the province. His journey into this healing modality was deeply personal, he told Polokwane Observer.

After a motorcycle accident in his matric year left him with a torn cross ligament and chronic pain in his knees and lower back, he tried multiple treatments without lasting success.

“I went through many modalities, back and forth, until I finally attended a body stress release session in Pretoria. What struck me was how light and non-invasive it was. Through lightly pricking or irritating the nerves, the practitioner could observe the body’s muscular response and pinpoint areas of tension.”

He explained that the body is constantly working to maintain balance and heal itself, however, that physical strain, emotional trauma, and stress can interfere with this process.

Body stress release aims to gently unlock areas of stored tension, restoring optimal communication between the brain and the rest of the body, he said.

“A body stress release practitioner identifies where the body is holding unnecessary tension or locked in spasms. By following the map of these stress points, we help open the nervous system for better communication and self-healing,” Coetzee says.

The technique is suitable for people of all ages and levels of health and fitness. With no medication, invasive procedures or side effects, body stress release offers a safe and natural alternative for managing chronic pain, stress, and overall wellness.

“It’s a gentle method with powerful results. People have nothing to lose and everything to gain,” he concluded.
