Tension and Trauma-Releasing Exercise for PTSD Treatment
What are Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)? Find out more about our Thailand TRE programme?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common response to especially violent, disturbing or otherwise traumatic events. While most PTSD treatments focus on alleviating the mental stress that accumulates following traumatic experiences, they tend to concentrate less on the physical aspects of stress relief. Tension and Trauma-Releasing Exercises (TRE) confront stress build up as it relates to the body itself.
As continued stress causes muscles to remain tightened, it soon becomes imperative to shake the body loose from its internal rigidity. Through a focused regimen of stretching, exercise and vibrations,our Thailand trauma release therapy provides valuable physical relief for our clients. This method of tension reduction calms the body’s nervous system, helping it rediscover a natural equilibrium that may have been lost over time.
As a set of basic exercises, TRE therapy produces generalised positive effects, and its utility is not confined to those suffering from PTSD. Those affected by anxiety from all mental disorders can gain valuable release by following our TRE Thailand process.
How Does TRE Work?
The human body undergoes a predictable and universal internal contraction when put under considerable stress. This contraction remains in place as long as stress is present, with the associated muscle tightening essentially functioning as a physical manifestation of the stress.
TRE therapy begins with deep muscle stretching in various centres of the body, such as the quadriceps, hamstrings and lower back. Subsequent sustained stretching around the body causes its muscles to tire out, relax and eventually begin to vibrate, releasing their tension and stored energy at last.
As the body rediscovers its former looseness and flexibility, our clients experience a feeling of lightness and relief. In many cases, yoga techniques are integrated with our TRE process, rounding out the exercise regimen with additional stretches to bring the body further into balance.
Beyond the purely physical benefits of tension relief, each of our TRE therapy sessions also allows clients a new opportunity to feel comfortable within their body once again, making it easier to deal with the stresses and challenges they encounter in life.

The Key Benefits of TRE Therapy
Each of us is aware that we have a body, but fewer of us consider that we are a body. Physical well-being is directly related to mental health, and should be at the heart of any holistic recovery programme.
Still, TRE is most effective when it is used in conjunction with other forms of treatment. Participants in the TRE sessions at The Dawn experience the following benefits:
- General stress relief, including a reduction of worry and anxiety
- Reduced intensity of PTSD symptoms
- Reduced muscular tension and chronic pain
- Increased energy and flexibility
- Improved blood circulation
- Improvement in physical condition
- Overall feeling of peace
In contrast to other forms of treatment for anxiety or PTSD, successful TRE therapy does not require our clients to directly confront painful memories or sources of stress.
How successful is our Trauma Release Exercise Thailand therapy?
Because it is centred around the natural neuro-physiological characteristics of the human body, the benefits from TRE are universal for all people. Feedback and results from TRE practitioners around the world have been very positive, with a long list of physical benefits reported by those who adopt the exercise regimen.
TRE has been successfully applied to people with experience in wartime, people in volatile relationships, people who suffer from intense stress and anxiety, and people who simply want relief from the tensions and trials of ordinary living.
Moreover, as a set of exercises, trauma-release therapy can easily be learned and incorporated into daily life. Our clients are thus empowered to practice TRE by themselves long into the future, allowing this special form of exercise to deliver physical benefits and provide general tension relief whenever they are needed.
Thailand TRE therapy at The Dawn
At The Dawn a drug and alcohol rehab Thailand we include weekly TRE group sessions as part of our comprehensive line of services to promote recovery and well-being. Our TRE Thailand therapist teaches our clients to use these exercise techniques effectively, so that it becomes a tool they can fall back on whenever they feel stressed.
During the session, our TRE therapist guides each client through the initial warm-up exercises as well as the various poses, to demonstrate proper form and to ensure that all necessary care is taken in terms of safety.
A preliminary sequence of general back, leg and upper-body stretching prepares the body and mind for the rhythm of the TRE experience to come. Some of these stretches may be familiar to those who have taken yoga classes. The TRE poses then follow. At the conclusion of the session, the client feels a renewed sense of inner freedom, as their stress and tightness have been greatly reduced and released.
With a low staff-to-client ratio, The Dawn’s team provides constant support to all our clients. For holistic treatment to ease the mind, body and spirit, contact The Dawn today.
