Somatic shaking has become a popular social‑media trend, promoted as a quick way to release tension through a few minutes of vigorous, unstructured movement—think jumping, flailing your arms, or stomping your feet.

At best, it can serve as a small piece of a broader stress‑management routine rather than a standalone solution.
