What is the Trager® Approach?

Trager® is a style of bodywork that uses gentle rolling, lengthening, compression, and directed movement to erase tight muscle patterns. It helps the body let go of pain and move with more comfort. People who experience Trager often report it feels like layers of tension and trauma have been unwound and released. 

The founder of this therapy, Dr. Milton Trager (1908-1997), intended you to experience a place beyond relaxation, a place of profound peace.

You are fully clothed during a Trager session to support your comfort and sense of safety. We recommend that you wear comfortable loose clothing and avoid dresses, high necklines, and hoodies.

Sessions may include Mentastics® to do at home or work. These are fun improvisational-like movements that are rich in visual imagery. Mentastics enhance the benefits of your Trager sessions and teach you how to integrate and embody comfortable movement in a playful way.
