Nothing has been as effective as the combination of Fascia Release and TRE and their links to chronic pain and compensation.
Trauma Release Exercises made a huge impact in 2010 when the world of understanding trauma and its impacts in the body was presented.This led to a collaboration of Liza and Dr David Berceli for her to begin teaching TRE therapists,often psychologists and psychotherapists more about the body in weekend workshops around South Africa with a view to going international.
In 2014 she attended her first Fascia Summer School at the University of Leipzig run by Dr's Robert Schleip, Werner Klingler and Tom Findley (Founder of the Fascia Research Society).
She continued teaching the TRE community as well as ran a busy practice from home.
She began to realize through experimenting with various fascia release techniques on horses , that she could induce the tremor mechanism in them which seemed to have a great positive impact.
In 2015 she attended the 5th International Fascia Congress in Washington DC, an amazing opportunity to network and to meet Dr Vibeke Elbrond, who presented the first fascia slings on horses there.
A month later she completed a chapter on the combination of fascia and TRE in Dr David Berceli's book on Trauma Release Exercises called 'Shake it off Naturally'.
In September 2016 she attended another Fascia Summer School at the University of Leipzig as well as a small focus fascia group of 20 people at the University of Chemnitz. This was a unique chance to get to know the founders of fascia research personally.
