You may choose to be partially or fully clothed while enjoying the sensation of becoming thoroughly relaxed as the tension disappears and new movement patterns become effortlessly available.
The Trager® Approach can enhance your daily activities, sporting performance and well being and it can also be a valuable part of any rehabilitation program following trauma, surgery or injury. This system helps release deep-seated physical and mental patterns. It facilitates deep relaxation and re-educates your body-mind to a better balance and increased physical mobility.
Dr. Milton Trager discovered that the awareness for weight and lightness, gentle movements and waves, has a deeply moving effect on the body and soul. He dedicated his whole life to developing the principles that make up the Trager® Approach which is taught and supervised by Trager® International ( www.trager.com ) and the National Trager® Associations. There are certified Trager® Practitioners worldwide.
The History of the Trager® logo represents the wonderful effects of a Trager session: a famous Zen master, after a treatment by Dr. Milton Trager, exclaimed “I feel like a dancing cloud!” and drew up the picture, which later became the Dancing Cloud® logo (as shown above).
The benefits of a Trager® session are cumulative: with each treatment, as you feel the waves of well being resound through your body, ease and flexibility return and your potential for vitality grows!
