Jeroen Janknegt — TRE® Provider
Tension Release Exercises

Jeroen Janknegt

TRE® Provider

After years of physical complaints caused by chronic stress, Jeroen discovered that the body has a natural ability to release tension and recover.

From his practice in Amsterdam's Zuidas district, he supports professionals using TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), a body-based method that helps regulate the nervous system and release accumulated stress and tension.

In his presentation, he explains how stress becomes stored not only in our minds but also in our bodies, and why true recovery requires more than relaxation alone.

“Your body knows the way to recovery. We have simply forgotten how to listen to it.”
