As all memory of stress and trauma is stored in the muscles and the body, Body Relax focuses on releasing the tension where it started. Research has proven that the body responds first to any stressful situation, before the brain even registered what happened. In other words, the primitive reflex reactions for survival causes the body to tense up and get ready for fight or flight first, before the cognitive thinking brain starts to process what happened.
Body Relax offers 2 body based relaxing techniques that, while it relaxes the muscles in the body, it also helps the brain to process and release stress and trauma.

TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension and calms down the nervous system. It is a simple and natural tool that teaches the body how to turn off the stress response and regulates stress hormones in the body.
The EMMETT Technique is a unique body therapy based on the belief that light touch can trigger a relaxation response in the soft tissue of the body, and the therapist may help relieve tensions resulting in improved comfort within the body.
It involves the application of light finger pressure at specific points, referred to as “Emmett points”.
