The TRAGER Approach

THE TRAGER APPROACH involves a sequence of softly rocking and rhythmic movements that encourages ever-deepening states of relaxation, lengthens musculature, adds grace, lightness and balance to posture, and invokes a profound sense of well-being. This hands-on, experiential work (done on a massage table) reaches deep into the whole structure of the body making a lasting change while never being intrusive or painful. The quality of touch and movements are often so subtle that the recipient feels the layers of their body softening and letting go. This work, developed by Milton Trager, M.D., uses gentle bodywork, mental imagery and dance-like movements to influence change in deep-seated physical and mental patterns of tightness and stress.
