In the lead up to PTSD Awareness Day on 27 June, you will have an opportunity to experience the TRE and the trauma-informed use of spontaneous movement & self-organising motion technique for yourself through this guided interactive webinar with world-leading TRE trainer Richmond Heath (Physiotherapist & Founder of TRE Australia) and TRE provider Dr Denise Cornell (Osteopath & Physiotherapist).

The webinar:

During this webinar, you will be introduced to TRE and the trauma-informed use of spontaneous movement and self-organising motion. Following a short presentation of the neuroscience underlying TRE, you will have an opportunity to experience the technique for yourself through a guided online TRE session. Using subcortical protection responses as somatic markers for self-regulation, you will learn how to use TRE as a bottom-up self-care technique to optimise your own mental health & physical wellbeing, as well as gaining an understanding of TRE’s relevance to your professional practice & patient wellbeing.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the role of habitual trauma responses in creating chronic tension, pain, inhibition, dysregulation & disconnection patterns
2. Understand the role of neurogenic movement in down-regulating trauma responses & optimising the functional neurology of the neuromuscular system.
3. Gain an embodied experience of TRE and the self-care use of neurogenic movement.
4. Understand the relevance of TRE to clinical practice & client wellbeing.
5. Know the pathways available for further learning in the personal or professional use of TRE.

The presenters:

Richmond Heath is a physiotherapist, TRE certification trainer and world-leader in the trauma-informed use of TRE & neurogenic movement. His personal experience of high-functioning anxiety led him on a 10 year journey into somatic healing that resulted in him developing a trauma-informed model of the body and movement that bridges the historical divide between mental and physical health.

With extensive experience presenting at national and international conferences, he has personally taught neurogenic movement to more than 6,000 people including survivors of the Black Saturday Bushfires, the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand, and people living in war-torn Ukraine. During Covid 19, he created the world’s first online TRE course that has more than 14,000 enrolments to date.

Dr Denise Cornall (Osteopath) and physiotherapist with extensive clinical and professional teaching experience. Through her clinical and life experiences, she has a special interest in the fields of paediatrics and trauma recovery. She strongly advocates for the biopsychosocial model where creating wellness rests upon the inter-relationship between body and mind and each person’s unique circumstances. She completed a doctorate study that explored osteopathy for babies with breastfeeding difficulties and played a key role in the coordination, and teaching of a post-graduate university course in neonatal and  infant paediatric manual therapy.

Working with the Kinglake community in the bush fire recovery period lead to a growing interest in strategies to support trauma recovery. She is a global certified provider of TRE, Trauma Releasing Exercises; to assist in the release of more deeply held protective body postures and tensions.
