TRAGER — undoing at its finest
We do and do and do. In all our doing we pattern. Some patterns serve us. Some don’t. Traumas, conditions, and general life situations affect our ease of being and limit our potential, and beliefs. We can forget what freedom feels like. Maybe we’ve never known it. The Trager® Approach is a therapeutic experience that helps us rediscover the feeling of freedom, or perhaps experience it for the first time.
Rhythmic in nature, Trager® is bodywork in motion. Painlessly, fascial release is experienced at its most dynamic and structural decompression at its most organic. Dis-serving patterns that manifest as physical tension, pain, and functional limitation effectively dissolve in the ripples of the work’s inherent waves.
With therapeutic mastery and artistry, ease of being reveals. Shoulders are reminded how to hang, arms how to swing, fingers how to dangle, spines how to decompress, ribs how to rise, bellies how to breathe, hips how to sway, feet how to roll, scars how to yield, bones how to bounce, the mind how to soften.
The novelty of the experience touches the changeable subconscious where letting go can happen at a source level. When we feel something different and better we can become something different and better. Old, limiting patterns of body and mind are offset by new possibility felt in each safe, pleasant experience. The mind redefines our potential, creating opportunity for evolution to truly happen.
Prevailing effects clients report are freedom from pain and chronic tension, easier movement, increased range of motion, improved posture, an overall lightness of being, a sense of length in limbs and spine, a natural heaviness of shoulders, feeling where numbness was, emotional release, fuller breath, more restful sleep, deep peace, renewal, centeredness, joy, and a friendlier relationship with oneself, others, and gravity. Although one session can be profound, results are cumulative. Each successive happening offers deeper depatterning of a limiting state and repatterning of a more optimal state.
Sessions often begin or conclude with simple, effortless movement explorations that put you into your own hands and empower you to replace old habits of holding on with new ways of letting go. A more peaceful condition evolves as you explore what could be freer, lighter, easier… And what could be freer yet, even lighter, ever easier? What does effortlessness feel like? What could I be? Integration of this mindful curiosity into your daily life will positively change you forever.
