What if your body could shake off years of tension?

It already knows how. TRE is a simple practice that activates your body's built-in release mechanism.

What happens in a session?

A TRE session starts with a short series of simple exercises that gently tire the muscles, especially the psoas, a deep hip flexor that holds much of the body's stress response. Nothing strenuous. Almost anyone can do them.

Then you lie down and let your body do what it already knows how to do: tremor. The shaking is gentle, involuntary and often deeply releasing. Some people feel warmth, lightness or emotion. Others just feel calmer. There's no right way for it to go.

Afterwards, there's time to rest and notice what's shifted. Most people leave feeling quieter inside, sometimes for the first time in a long while.

Common questions

What is TRE? What does TRE stand for?

TRE stands for Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises. It's a set of simple exercises developed by Dr David Berceli that help the body release deep muscular tension and stress patterns. TRE activates the body's natural tremoring mechanism, a built-in process that shakes out tension held in the muscles and fascia. Once you've learned the technique, you can use it on your own.

Is TRE safe?

TRE is generally safe for most people. The tremoring mechanism is a natural physiological response that the body already knows how to produce. If you have a history of complex trauma, PTSD or serious mental health conditions, it's best to work with a Certified TRE Provider, especially when starting out. A qualified provider can help you regulate the intensity of the tremors and ensure you feel safe throughout. If you have had recent surgery or have a medical condition affecting your mobility, consult your healthcare professional before trying TRE. TRE is safe during pregnancy with adaptations.

Do I need to talk about my trauma?

No. TRE is a body-based approach that does not require you to discuss, recall or relive any traumatic experiences. The exercises work directly with the body's muscular and nervous system responses, bypassing the need for verbal processing. This makes TRE appealing for people who find talk therapy difficult or who prefer a physical approach to stress and tension release. You're always welcome to share your experience with your provider if you wish.

Can I do TRE at home?

Yes. Once you've learned the exercises and understand how to self-regulate during the tremoring process, you can practise at home on your own. Most providers recommend attending at least a few guided sessions first so you feel confident managing the experience independently. All you need is a mat, a quiet space and enough time to rest afterwards.
