TragerŪ
The Gentle Approach to Muscle and Mental Mastery
You have many choices available when you begin to look for methods of optimizing your body's physical and mental performance. They range from the physically invasive to the gentle and cathartic.
For wholesome, total body renewal, growing numbers of people are turning to the Trager Approach developed over the last 50 years by Dr. Milton Trager and his colleagues. The Trager Approach offers a unique therapeutic system of body work with every touch, movement and suggestion aiming to remove muscle and mental tension and facilitate a deeper relaxation.
You will be surprised how gentle manipulations will elongate muscle tissue and how soft compressions will melt tension and stress and gently untie even the deepest knots. These techniques are supplemented by use of a rhythmic rocking that sends waves of relaxation across your entire muscular and nervous systems and into your body's fluid structure where the lymphatic systems are positively affected.
Pause for a moment to notice how your body feels after reading the above description of Trager movements. Don't be embarassed if you have to go back and reread the previous paragraph. Most of us go through our days essentially unaware of what is happening in our bodies until something acute happens. Wouldn't it be nice to notice that back, neck or shoulder tension before it became a serious or ingrained problem? Trager helps strengthen your mind-body connection so that over time, you become more aware of what's happening as it happens. As a result, you begin to notice tension and stress patterns long before they become serious, while they're still at a level when something can easily and effectively be done.
The benefits of Trager are cummulative and repeated sessions enable you to recall the pleasant sensations of your session and to re-experience them. This effect prolongs the benefits of Trager beyond the actual session.
It is easy to see how physical and energetic therapies such as Trager benefit a wide range of conditions including stress, back and neck pain, muscle spasms, headaches, fibromyalgia, physical/emotional trauma and sports and other injuries. Trager's especially gentle techniques allow mothers-to-be to enjoy Trager throughout the entire term of the pregnancy.
No special equipment is needed for a Trager session. You lie on a padded table either fully dressed or wearing light, loose-fitting clothing. Since oils and lotions are not used, no messy cleanup is necessary following a session. You leave the table with a relaxed feeling that you're better able to cope with any mental, physical or spiritual challenges you may have.
