Most people are suffering from tension and trauma due to multiple reasons. Tension, stress, and trauma are dependent on your physiological and psychological health. This means instead of curing them with medications, you need to adopt some physical treatments that have a direct impact on your muscles and nervous system. The most effective method which is the perfect treatment for your stress and tension is Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises.
Tension and trauma-releasing exercises are primarily performed under the supervision of my tractor or chiropractor. These exercises are designed to deal with muscle stress and focus on relaxing muscles to soothe pain.
Tension Releasing Exercises
Tension releasing Exercises are unique ways to help the human body release underlying physical patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. These exercises activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrations, reducing muscular stress and calming the nervous system. They must be performed in a controlled setting to assist the body in regaining balance.
These exercises are founded on the fact that stress, tension, and trauma all impact the body, both mentally and physically. According to one study, many people experience peaceful body changes after engaging in these activities. This extended study will examine the benefits, applications, and roles of various exercises in healing.
Benefits of Tension & Trauma Release Therapy
These exercises have many benefits for the proper functioning of the human body. Some of them are below:
- Anxiety relief
- Relaxed neck muscles and fascia
- Faster recovery from injury
- Increase in mobility
- Activates the social nervous system
Anxiety Relief
These exercises focus on the trigger points of your muscles and give enough fatigue to these muscles so that they start relaxing and relieve you from tension.
Relaxed Neck Muscles and Fascia
Some of these exercises, including stretches and meditation, help relieve pain by treating muscle strain in the neck and shoulders. Tension in these muscles is primarily caused by using a mobile device or computer for longer durations. Therefore, such exercises are effective treatments for chronic neck pain.
Faster Recovery from Injury
Tension and trauma-releasing exercises strengthen your muscles and help in muscle recovery at a faster rate.
Increase in Mobility
When your muscles and joints are strong, your mobility will be improved automatically.
Activates the Social Nervous System
We can improve our Social Nervous Systems in TRE! According to Steven Porges' Polyvagal Theory, the social nervous system is critical to how we feel safe and how our autonomic nervous system influences our experiences, perceptions, and actions. The presence of a grounded and attuned nervous system (your TRE provider) can affect your perceived sense of safety and connection. Co-regulation occurs when two or more brain systems interact, influencing one another's state of regulation (or being). A mother and child, for example, are sensitive to each other's needs and emotions. We actively participate in coregulation by setting up a safe connection with a trauma-informed TRE provider.
