Who We Are

COCHASA's members support and encourage an holistic approach to health care, which includes promoting wellness - the integration of body, mind and spirit - with an understanding that everything you do, think, feel and believe has an impact on your state of health.
To date COCHASA has made significant progress in lobbying and achieving the potential for complementary approaches to be included within the national health system.

Nontherapeutic Health Services

COCHASA members offer complementary health services that are intended to promote wellness and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure disease.

These services employ supportive, holistic methods to facilitate ease of the body-mind, and do not interfere or counteract treatment regimes recommended by your health practitioner.

If you have a health condition, please consult a qualified health practitioner registered with the Health Professions Council or the Allied Health Professions Council.

Body Stress Release

Body Stress Release is a health profession concerned with assisting the body to release stored tension thereby allowing it to maximise its ability to maintain and heal itself. This technique has been developed and practised in South Africa by Gail and Ewald Meggersee since 1981.

When we are subjected to stress overload, tension becomes locked into our physical structures. The causes may be mechanical - accidents or incorrect exercise; chemical - pollutants, substances in foods and cosmetics; or mental/emotional stress. This stored tension may result in pain, stiffness or numbness and postural distortions. The impact on the nervous system undermines the body's ability to coordinate and heal itself.
