40: Using Trauma Release Exercise to Heal Chronic Pain with Richmond Heath

“When we recognize that a stress and trauma response is about movement in the body, then it makes sense that the recovery response is also about movement.” - Richmond HeathTrauma is an underlying factor for many chronic illnesses. From digestive issues to autoimmune diseases and problems with the nervous system, in many instances, one of our physiologic systems is stuck due to a traumatic pattern.The most important thing to know as a practitioner or a patient is that we don’t have to know where the trauma came from to release it. TRE® is a revolutionary technique that utilizes the body’s natural reflexes to allow you to relax your body, calm your mind, and recover from trauma.Today, I’m joined by Richmond Heath, physiotherapist, TRE® Certification Trainer and National Coordinator of TRE® in Australia. TRE® has had a significant impact on Richmond’s life, and he’s passionate about helping people understand TRE® as a pathway for ongoing growth and development in all areas of our lives.In today’s episode, Richmond and I discuss the connection between trauma and chronic illness, how trauma manifests physiologically, the role of movement in recovery, how we can use the body's natural mechanisms for releasing trauma, how to integrate TRE® into your practice, trauma's impact on health and healing, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/using-trauma-release-exercise-to-heal-chronic-pain-with-richmond-heath/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).
