Trager® Schools and Careers Guide
What is Trager?
Dr. Milton Trager, M.D., developed his own system of bodywork which emphasizes gentle rocking and rolling of the client to encourage release and loosening and softening. Trager® or Tragerwork seeks to unblock neuromuscular patterns that inhibit the body's natural, free-flowing motion.
How is Trager practiced?
Clients begin by lying on a table while the practitioner uses a light, non-intrusive technique such rhythmic rocking, swinging, jiggling to loosen the limbs and torso. Clients are also taught techniques to use at home to reinforce the experience from their sessions.
