Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises
What is TRE®?TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple, natural method to release stress, tension, and trauma held in the body. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE uses a series of easy exercises to activate your body’s neurogenic tremor (a natural shaking mechanism that helps you let go of deep muscular tension and restore a sense of calm).
Why Try TRE®?In daily life, especially after stressful events, our bodies can hold tension in ways that we don’t always notice. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, and pain. TRE is thought to help the body unwind this tension, allowing the nervous system to reset.
People often report feeling:
- Calmer and more centered
- Less anxious or reactive
- More connected to their body
- Improved sleep and mood
How Does TRE® Work?TRE is based on the idea that all mammals have an instinctive way of recovering from stress: shaking. Just like animals tremble after danger passes, humans also have a natural tremor response. But we often suppress it.
TRE aim to safely reactivate this process through:
1. A short series of movements that gently fatigue key muscle groups.
2. This triggers neurogenic tremors, a calming, rhythmic shaking in the body.
3. The body begins to release stored tension, helping the nervous system return to balance.
Who is TRE® For?TRE can benefit:
- Anyone
- People with stress, anxiety, or trauma
- Survivors of natural disasters or violence
- Anyone feeling tense, overwhelmed, or stuck
- Athletes looking to imrpove their performance
TRE is used around the world in schools, hospitals, disaster zones, therapy centers, and at home.
It is suitable for all body types and fitness levels and can be done alone or with guidance. You are always in control of the process.
