Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)®

  • Tension ReleaseStressed/Anxious?
  • Tight muscles?
  • Trouble sleeping?
  • Hypervigilance or other symptoms of PTSD?
  • Want to free up energy?

Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)® was created as a self-help technique by Dr. David Berceli to help with all of these issues. The series of movements, or exercises, is designed to evoke the body’s natural tremoring response. This tremor response helps to release chronically held stress and muscle tension. It is known to provide relaxation as well as increased energy over time and can be used to release current stress or longer-term chronic stress. Some people report that it helps them improve sleep quality. For more information about TRE: http://traumaprevention.com/what-is-tre/

Once learned, TRE® can be performed by people in their own homes or as a facilitated session. TRE® is a very flexible and safe approach, with modifications available for people with injuries, chronic conditions, or balance issues. It is not currently recommended for women who are pregnant, unless working with a certified provider who is specialized in this area.
