Trager Work

Programs that specialize in providing the form of movement reeducation developed by Dr. Milton Trager which is based on the theory that pain, health problems and the stresses of daily living create contractions in the body and the mind as unconscious coping mechanisms. The task of the practitioner is to guide the individual through a series of gentle, rhythmic, pain-free movements that create a sense of lightness and freedom and produce a state of relaxation in which the individual can achieve release. The individual learns a system of movement sequences which reproduce the sense of lightness and ease of movement experienced during the session.
