TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises)

Unlock your body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance through TRE, a gentle yet transformative practice that supports physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

​

What is TRE?
TRE, or Tension and Trauma Release Exercises, is a series of simple movements that activate the body’s natural tremor mechanism. These therapeutic tremors help release deep-seated patterns of stress and trauma stored within the body, allowing for a reset to your nervous system and a return to ease.

Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE is based on the understanding that our bodies instinctively hold onto stress, creating physical and emotional imbalances over time. By releasing this tension, TRE helps you feel lighter, more centered, and more connected to your body.

​

Why Do We Shake?

A Natural Nervous System Response, Shaking is often misunderstood as a sign of weakness, fear, or distress, but in reality, it is one of the nervous system’s most powerful tools for recovery and regulation.

When our sympathetic nervous system is activated—whether through stress, excitement, physical exertion, or even sexual arousal—the body releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Shaking is how the parasympathetic nervous system helps us complete the stress cycle, releasing built-up energy and returning us to a state of calm.

While shaking often occurs during heightened experiences, it is the body’s way of downregulating and restoring balance. Suppressing this natural response can cause the body to hold onto stress, leading to:

  • Tight muscles.

  • Postural imbalances.

  • Chronic tension or pain.

  • Increased susceptibility to injuries.

By allowing and encouraging this tremor mechanism, TRE helps the body release stored stress hormones and reset physical patterns, paving the way for deep relaxation and recovery.

The Role of Fascia in Healing and Recovery


TRE also works deeply with the body’s fascia—an intricate network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. Fascia plays a crucial role in movement, posture, and overall physical health, but it is also highly sensitive to stress and trauma.

​

When the fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can lead to:

​

  • Pain and stiffness.

  • Reduced mobility.

  • Increased emotional and mental tension.

​

By activating the tremor mechanism, TRE helps release tension within the fascia, promoting greater flexibility, muscle recovery, and alignment. Healthy fascia not only supports better posture and physical function but also contributes to emotional and mental clarity, as the body and mind are intricately connected.
