The Trager® approach was developed by Milton Trager, MD, over a period of 50 years
and is taught world-wide. The bodywork is experienced as gentle rhythmic movements of the limbs and a soothing rocking of the torso which loosens all of the joints and muscles. It is non-invasive, gentle and deep. The process re-educates the mind, releasing traumas and stresses that are limiting - physically, mentally and emotionally.
The Trager Practitioner
The Trager practitioner adopts a relaxed and open meditative state of consciousness. The hands are used to communicate a quality of feeling to the nervous system by gently rocking, weighing, stretching and pressing. The Client's Experience
A full session lasts 60-90 minutes. The client rests on a well-padded table in a warm comfortable environment. As the client experiences the exploration of gentle movements, he/she is provided with a sense of being able to move freely and painlessly.
Expectations
Expect Trager to:
Revitalise energy. Create the experience of flexibility, lightness and ease of movement. Release unconscious holding patterns. Recognise and ease stress in the body. Contribute to mental growth and awareness.
Results
The positive effects of Trager are cumulative, penetrating below the level of conscious awareness, and can continue to produce results after a session.
