Take Dr. Berg's Advanced Evaluation Quiz: bit.ly/EvalQuiz
Body Stress is the physical tension or residue of tightness or contraction that gets stuck in the body.
But in reality, it's not something that is stuck. It is the body's reaction to stress that is stuck. The body experiences some overwhelming stress and reacts by tightening its muscles. This tightness then continues to stay tight long after the stress. This is an inappropriate body reaction.
Body stress is a tightness that will not let go and relax. In other words, the body is stuck in guarding or protection mode. The body will continue to react to trauma and other stress long after the stress is gone. The body or brain has lost its control over the body part that is reacting to stress much like a house that blew a fuse. Sustained stress for a long time, overwhelming stress or a sudden shock or injury tends to create this chronic tension.
Where does stress accumulate in the body?
Around the injury
Around the infection (sinus, throat, chest)
Around the heart
Around the gallbladder
Abdomen
Adrenal gland area (anterior and posterior)
Flight or fight area (in the mid-back)
Upper neck area to the back of the skull
Under the clavicle area
Areas of overstraining (feet, back, etc.)
Body Stress is a form of body protection. The body is stopping motion so as to avoid getting hurt again. If you pull your muscle, the body will then, afterwards, protect the muscle by keeping it contracted or tight. Of course, this only has a short term benefit. There is no long term benefit. It's an inappropriate action because the danger is long gone.
Acupressure is our tool of removing inappropriate body tension (stress).
Chronic stress from multiple injuries, emotional upsets and losses, pregnancies or infections or even sustained environmental stress over time can accumulate in the body.
Physical body stress can be measured through our testing. Over time, as stress accumulates, it can create all sorts of health problems including extra weight gain. The adrenal hormone called cortisol has as one of its functions to store fat in the belly and is triggered by stress.

I’d say much more than cancer ( non Agressive cancers) but only during times when stress is fully activated say near to it maximum levels. Patricia. May I ask what you’ve been through stress wise only if you feel comfortable enough with doing so. Thank you so much. Please forgive me if you feel I’ve crossed the boundary by asking you. Hope you’re all well and good. God bless
This is the reason why I changed company. Need to really have change of environment. And it works! ☺️
Try stretching. I have my own pseudo yoga routine in the morning. I wake up stiff all over. My wife can hear my joints crack and grind when I stretch from across the room. However, it does help enormously.
OMG random, but I love your sense of humour!! “If you’re in a stressful marriage you must change that ... situation..” and also extremely helpful thank you 😊😊
I've struggled with tightness in my bowel for years and this really helped me understand it better. I figured it had to do with cortisol and stressing my body over the years, but i wasn't sure exactly how to reverse it. I naturally started massaging my bowel and found it to be very helpful in relieving pain and tension. Sometimes it even feels like my bowel is hard from so much tension. Thank you for the insights in this video!
You’re explaining everything that I’m going through, my older brother who’s a transient with mental illness has been missing for 5 months and the stress of searching for him and worrying about his ware about has caused my blood to be in so much pain especially on my chest😥 I have gained so much weight even though I don’t eat much. Thank you so much Doctor I really appreciate all that you do☺️

Dr. Berg, I have watched 6 of your videos this evening, you are awesome in how you explain these medical facts, how they occur, and how to start to correct these situations in simple terms, your incredibly valuable information will really help me greatly Thank you so much!!!!! Where are you today, I see these videos are from 2016.
I did that. I was 8 years old and I shot my right big toe while wearing PF Flyers, just to see how bad it would feel. It didn't feel good. Then I shot a little bird, just to do it. It died in my hand. I showed it to my mother and she said: Aw," just as it stopped twitching. I was appalled at what I had done. That was a transformational experience for me. Since then I've spent my life being good to animals.
Thanks so much! So helpful!
Thank you.. So Much, I'm learning alot from your videos.
Thanks Doc Berg. very informative and useful.

I think Dr. Berg has a video for every health issues. Thank you Dr. Berg, for all that you do. God bless you and Happy New Year🎉✨🎆
In the last 3 years I have gained a granddaughter but almost lost my daughter, lost my mother and older sister as well as 2 old family dogs and have just been made redundant in my long term job as well as miscellaneous others stresses. Is this normal? I know I'm not alone with stress but is this abnormal in life? All of the places that hold stress are affected. It's tough but I do try a lot of your techniques and they seem to help for a a while. I think I just have to accept that life can be rough sometimes. For some more than others I guess.
Dear Dr Berg very interesting. Please talk more about acupressure.
Fantastic thank you
Very interesting
Thank you SSSOOOOO much!! For about a year, I was getting quality massage therapy and that did wonders! It gave me the best sleep! I'm looking forward to seeing your video on how low impact exercises can help with stress!
Love you! Thx for what you are doing for people! It's comforting to know there is an advocate out there for the good of folks. We need more of this type education, and I sure hope medical doctors will one day soon, begin to break away from big pharma, see the error in much of allopathic practitioning, and begin caring enough to truly healing people. :D

I super like you Dr. Berg. You provide the information I need without cost. I want to buy some of your products but I'm from the Philippines. How can I buy? Thanks.
66 years old and a life of specific stressors has worn me down a bit. So I am doing yoga at night before I go to bed...this is improving my insomnia. But my forehead muscles, particularly between the eyes were badly stuck..causing headaches and I looked cranky even when I was feeling good. No amount of relaxation helped. So I had Botox in those deep furrows. Immediate relief. I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted. My overall stress levels reduced. Amazing that so much of my total stress had accumulated in that small area. It creeps up on you. Pity we aren’t exposed to Doctor Bergs explanations so much earlier in life. Thank you.

I love this video. I have a question, I’m HOPING you can research or if you know, address. Long Cov!d problems. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but there are thousands and thousands of us suffering from Parosmia. Doctors are at a loss. There has been some success with SGB, but not everyone can afford this. If you can, could you make a video of information on Parosmia, Anosmia, hypogeusia. I’ve read many articles, but look to you for some advice. Thank you!
Hey Eric, what type of diet would you recommend for somebody having adrenal stress and is low weight/underweight ? Ketosis seems great for people who have fat tissue to burn but without any fat you will become reliant on your fats from food (correct me if i am wrong). Gaining weight would require calorie surplus but if you have trouble digesting fat then that would cause even more stress on the body right ?
If not all, most of your videos have quite low volume. Could you do something to make the volume up pls! Thank you
Absolutely love this video it does make absolute sense that’s what I need is good nights sleep I think that will be the biggest help and massage big time massage🥰
thanks dr. berg I enjoy your videos. my job is so look stressful and I am actually over worked. I'm almost 60 that's scarey looking for another job.

Eric if you can please help me I would really appreciate it. I unfortunately believe that I have injured my costal muscle area near my chest and it hurts near the sternum and also the joint and tendon areas connecting my left shoulder on left side. It feels like a burning pain. Ive been to chiropractors, I have tried DMSO, all natural homeopathic remedies, and massages. I believe that I have some pretty severe chostocondritis. Terrible pain. Although I have full range of motion, so I know theres no complete tears. I just dont understand how to heal this.

i am wondering where does the gosts fear stuck in the body?
My gf have body stress i guess. I told her she got wrong posture, and she should try to correct it with training her back, or fake it till you make it. I noticed that her muscle tensions was happening while she sleep. She doesnt move much during the sleep, but her back and hands muscle was tightening, relaxing, tightening, relaxing, whole night. If she fall a sleep hugging me, then she keeps biting me with her hands and fingers, the whole night, just bite, bite, bite, bite. And during the day, she is in a bad mood because her back and shoulders hurts. Im in other hand trying to be in full control over my body and mind all the time, and i can notice many things that are wrong or odd, find what i did wrong and fix it.
Sir can you tell me please if I go to sleep at 10:30 and get up at 4:30 is still good or bad.
