You don’t need prior experience, flexibility, or fitness. 

Sessions are guided, educational, and adapted to your unique nervous system responses.

TRE® is a gentle body-based practice to release stress, tension and trauma stored in the body when fight, fligh or freeze responses had no way to be executed. 

Most people recognise that stress and trauma presents itself mentally and emotional. The reality is that it starts physically in the body with a contraction in the muscle when faced with events that are stressful and life threatening. The key to RELEASING and RECOVERING from stress and trauma is to work with the muscle initiating release through the brain stem. This highly effective body based method initiates this release in a safe and simple way using 7 basic exercises that communicate with the Brian Stem and this is what makes TRE a unique process.

Once learned effectively, this process can be done on your own at home
TRE can be used with individuals, Groups and Corporates looking to improve staff wellness 

TRE is available to anyone or any age (5-80yrs) who has permission to exercise and can follow instructions to perform the exercises. We have even been able to initiate tremor in paraplegics by moving the muscle manually as if the body was doing the exercise. If you have any form of stress or trauma, current or long term (birth or PTSD), TRE is for you.

TRE® is generally safe when guided properly. Sessions are paced according to your nervous system capacity.

The reason why we ask you to complete the Medical Indemnity form is so that we as facilitators can ensure that you have the safest experience created for you in the space that we hold.

For that we need to know what we are working with so that all care and consideration are taken before hand. 

That we may be prepared for and able to prevent any overwhelm or distress during the session.

And ultimately, so that risk to you can be reduced, if there is any. 

If you have any concerns or questions about how TRE® will work if you have a 'condition' please feel free to send your questions to info@avalongrove.co.za

Through deep muscle relaxation, TRE reintroduces a natural state of calm by balancing the Nervous System. Your story will always be yours but the associated charge doesn’t have to be there..

• Physical and nerve pain

• Depression and anxiety

• Autoimmune diseases

• Stomach problems

• High levels of stress, PTSD

• ADD/ADHD/ASD

TRE® is a gentle, body-based process that supports the nervous system to release stored tension through natural tremoring. You remain fully in control at all times, and we move at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

Our 1st session will be about 90 mins, to assess your medical indemnity form, and give you some physiological background of how TRE works. 

We would also ensure that you know how to regulate before we start the actual process. 

The actual process involves 7 exercises to activate the fight or flight muscles, from the ankles to the waist, this is not an exercise regimen, it is an activation sequence. 

After this sequence, if you are resourced enough on the day, we will take you into tremor. 

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement (e.g. leggings, tracksuit pants, a T-shirt or long-sleeve top). 

Bare feet or socks work best.

Try to wear lighter clothing as black sometimes obscures the movement to the eye. 

• A medium sized towel

• A small blanket

• Small pillow

• 2 pairs of socks (even in size)

• Water

• Tissues

Drink water, move gently, and allow space for rest or reflection. 

Subtle sensations or emotional shifts can occur as the body integrates — this is normal and usually settles naturally. Integration usually takes between 24 and 48 hours

Please try and arrange your session when you know you have a safe, secure environment to return to.

This to give your body and mind a safe space to integrate what happened during your session. 

If you return to a turbulent environment, we suggest that you not immediately return to that environment. Delay return to unstable environments by at least 1 hour, at a place or person you feel safe with to give the process a chance to be registered in the brain.  

Avoid alcohol for at least the 24-48 hours while integration is taking place. As TRE does affect biochemistry in the body, and we want to avoid that interference if possible. 

If you have any questions before we begin, you’re welcome to reach out to info@avalongrove.co.za

No.

You remain aware and able to stop at any time. The process is titrated (done gradually).

No.

TRE® works through the body. Talking is optional.

Most people report:
• Calmness
• Reduced tension
• Emotional settling
• Better sleep

Sometimes mild fatigue can occur as the body integrates.

This is nervous system regulation work, not psychotherapy or medical treatment.
