The Trager® Method is a unique and profound form of bodywork that the Boulder Healing Hub is excited to be bringing back to Boulder for the first time in decades!
Joseph Rodin, MA, LMT, CPT will be flying in from Seattle to offer this day-long training which is open to both professional bodyworkers who want to add meaningful skills and inspiration to their practice, as well as anyone who wants to deepen their capacity for human contact through therapeutic touch and awareness.
Trager® stands alone as an approach, but also beautifully complements and deepens other styles of massage as well. Come and learn the language of the neuromuscular system, and turn the temporary release of tension into an ongoing dissolution of muscular tension patterns. This Introductory Workshop serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1 Training leading towards certification as a Trager Practitioner.
Along with gaining mastery and deepening personal growth, Trager® certification bestows a tangible credential in Neuromuscular Therapy and Movement Education and, with permission, the US Trager® Association will list practitioners on its website.
What is Trager®? Trager is a unique, neuromuscular approach to bodywork and movement re-patterning. The tablework consists of deep, fluid rocking movements (oscillations) of muscles and joints combined with compression and gentle traction. This feeds into the nervous system resulting in dramatic muscular relaxation, along with feelings of lightness, freedom, and flexibility. The client is also shown simple exercises called mentastics which help integrate the profound changes in the body.
Improvisational and fluid, Trager® releases chronic pain patterning while unfolding deepening levels of somatic integration. Working from the inside out, it dissolves patterns shaped through protection, injury, and trauma - restoring greater ease and a more pain free life for the client and practitioner alike.
Milton Trager, MD, who became aware of the basic principles at the age of 18, spent over 50 years refining this unique approach to somatic movement therapy and bodywork. We're happy to keeping his profound work alive.
