What is TRE®?

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple yet powerful series of exercises designed to help the body release deep muscular tension and stress caused by trauma, anxiety, or chronic stress. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE® works by activating the body’s natural tremoring mechanism, which helps to release built-up tension safely and effectively.

The practice involves gentle stretches and movements that encourage subtle muscle tremors or vibrations, which help to regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of calm. TRE® supports physical and emotional wellbeing by allowing the body to process and discharge stress in a natural way, promoting relaxation and resilience.

Who is it for?

TRE® is suitable for people of all ages who wish to reduce stress, ease muscular tension, and improve emotional wellbeing. It is often used by individuals experiencing:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Trauma symptoms, including PTSD

  • Muscle tightness and pain related to tension

  • Sleep difficulties linked to stress

  • Emotional overwhelm or nervous system disregulation

TRE® can be a helpful tool for anyone seeking a gentle, non-invasive way to support recovery from emotional or physical stressors. It is also used by athletes and professionals to improve relaxation and enhance overall resilience.
