Stress, anxiety and trauma are integral aspects of human experience, affecting us both mentally and physically. Often, we navigate daily challenges at home or work, unaware of how stress silently infiltrates our bodies. Our muscles contract as a natural response to stress, helping us push through difficult situations. However, these contractions, if left unchecked, can lead to pain, discomfort or chronic illness. The Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) offers a proactive approach to managing and alleviating these physical and psychological burdens.

TRE® is an innovative series of exercises designed to assist the body in releasing deep-seated muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Developed on the foundational principle that stress manifests not just in the mind, but also in the body, TRE® activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating. This reflex, when safely triggered, allows the body to release tension, promoting a state of calm within the nervous system.

This shaking mechanism is a powerful tool for emotional and physical release, addressing everything from daily work stress to more severe anxieties, including those stemming from traumatic experiences like accidents or relationship conflicts. When practiced in a safe, controlled environment, TRE® helps the body return to its natural state of balance, allowing for more profound healing and resilience.

TRE® isn’t just for those who have experienced significant trauma. Whether you are a first responder dealing with PTSD, an athlete managing physical stress or simply someone looking to enhance your overall well-being, TRE® can be incredibly beneficial. By incorporating TRE® into your routine, you can prevent the escalation of stress and tension, maintaining a healthier, more balanced life.
