Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)

TRE® is a groundbreaking series of exercises designed to safely activate the body's natural tremoring mechanism. This innovative approach helps release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma through controlled, involuntary tremors, providing a gentle yet powerful way to restore balance to the nervous system.

How does it work?

TRE works by activating the body's natural neurogenic tremors - an innate mechanism for releasing tension.

Through a sequence of simple exercises that mildly fatigue specific muscle groups, the body begins to tremor naturally.

These tremors originate in the deep muscles of the pelvis and can travel up through the body, releasing tension patterns held in the muscles and fascia.

This process helps discharge accumulated stress and traumatic energy stored in the body, allowing the nervous system to return to a more balanced state.

Backed by science

Research published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress shows that neurogenic tremors play a crucial role in releasing tension and trauma stored in the body.

Studies have demonstrated that TRE can reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress. Clinical observations documented in the International Journal of Stress Management indicate that regular TRE practice leads to improved emotional regulation, better sleep quality, and reduced muscle tension.

The effectiveness of TRE is supported by our understanding of how the nervous system processes and releases trauma through physical mechanisms.

 Benefits of (TRE)

TRE has shown promise in:

  • Releasing chronic tension and stress
  • Reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression
  • Processing trauma stored in the body
  • Improving sleep quality
  • Enhancing emotional regulation
  • Reducing muscular pain and tension
  • Supporting nervous system regulation
  • Increasing body awareness
  • Promoting physical resilience
  • Facilitating emotional processing

Integration with other modalities

Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.
