Listen "E67- TRE in the 2025 Fascia Congress with Liza Kimble"
Episode Synopsis
Alex Greene talks with Liza Kimble, a body therapist from South Africa who combines TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) with gentle touch work. Liza has worked with bodies for 32 years and discovered that lighter touch often works better than deep, painful massage. She works with both people and horses, teaching them how to release tension through natural tremoring.Liza shares how she went from doing very intense massage work to learning gentler approaches that help the nervous system feel safe. Her work with horses taught her important lessons about healing - when horses feel comfortable, they naturally start to shake and release stored stress. She's excited to present her work at a big research conference in New Orleans.The conversation covers how to combine different healing methods, why therapists need to take care of themselves, and Liza's interest in ancient wisdom about human behavior patterns. This episode helps both therapists and regular people understand how gentle body work can help heal trauma and calm the nervous system.Key Highlights:00:01 - Background introduction00:03 - Massage therapy beginnings00:05 - Psoas activation discovery00:07 - Meeting David Berceli00:09 - First TRE experience00:12 - Combining TRE fascial00:14 - Fascia Congress attendance00:16 - Horse tremoring discovery00:19 - Touch technique evolution00:22 - Client homework protocols00:25 - Horse therapy training00:29 - Traumatized horse transformation00:34 - Horse tremoring patterns00:37 - Equine therapy philosophy00:42 - Teaching methodology evolution00:44 - Upcoming Congress excitement00:50 - Human algorithm teachingsLinks and Resources: International Fascia Research Congress: https://www.frscongress.org/ Liza’s Website: https://lizakimble.com/ Polyvagal Theory resources by Dr. Stephen Porges: https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/whatispolyvagaltheory Tom Myers' Anatomy Trains and fascial meridians: https://www.myersmyofascialmeridians.com/ Blog Post
