Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®) is a simple series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. TRE was Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
How can TRE® help you:
More Energy & Endurance
Less Workplace Stress
Better Sleep
Reduced Muscle & Back Pain
Increased Flexibility
Less Worry & Anxiety
How does TRE® work?
The therapeutic muscle tremors evoked by the TRE exercise process is a natural, internal, neuro-physiological response of the body to reduce its own stress and restore a sense of well-being.
TRE is a body based (somatic) process which, when done properly, through a Certified TRE Provider can allow the individual to discharge tension from the body, which often does not require “revisiting the story”. (ie: verbally describing or talking about the traumatic experience)
TRE is designed to be a self-help tool that once learned, can be used as needed, throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wholeness.
Although TRE is a safe stress release technique for most people, it should not be used as a substitute for trauma recovery procedures of a medical or psychological nature.
Please note that: individuals with physical or psychological / psychiatric conditions that require strict regulation, with complex history of trauma or restricting physical or medical limitations should consult their Medical Doctor or a certified TRE Provider prior to performing these exercises.
