why does shaking help us to relieve pain?

Okay for example, when you burn your finger your immediate reaction is to shake it and somehow it relieves the pain, or if you’re desperate for the toilet you start shaking your leg it makes the pain more bearable. Why is this??

Shaking activates the nervous system and signals the brain to calm, relax and let go. Shaking is the natural way to release tension and return the body to its normal state.
