Dr. Milton Trager

Dr. Milton Trager recognized that new information introduced to areas in the unconscious mind, gently and with skill, activates positive neurological changes that improve movement patterns. He referred to his work as psychophysical integration.

Trager® Approach practitioners use the language of touch and movement as they promote sensory awareness and ease of movement for their clients. Trager sessions include gentle bouncing, stroking, elongations and a variety of playful body movements received in a calming, pleasurable atmosphere.

  • experience gentle, non-intrusive, natural movements to support the release of deep-seated physical and mental patterns,

  • facilitate deep relaxation,

  • increase physical mobility,

  • foster mental clarity, and

  • experience increasingly free and easy movement.
