Tension & Trauma Release Exercises

Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (or TRE®) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, that activate a natural reflex mechanism of muscular shaking in the body called neurogenic tremors. This shaking process assists the body in releasing deep muscular tension created through chronic stress or trauma. The neurogenic tremors release muscular tension, calm the nervous system, and encourage the body to return to a state of balance. Watch Dr. Berceli's introduction video below:

TRE is a self-help tool that is self-administered and self-regulated. Once the technique is learned and mastered after several sessions, the warm-up exercises can be accelerated or replaced with your normal exercise activity. TRE then becomes a quick and effective method for returning your body to a state of balance. Eventually, these tremors will evoke themselves naturally in a resting position to reduce any stress or tension that has accumulated over the course of the day.

TRE is being used by thousands of people around the world as an effective tool for releasing chronic stress, physical tension and emotional trauma. It is also quickly becoming a popular way to release the everyday stress, tension, and anxiety that comes from the daily pressures of life.
