The effect of this work is simultaneously deep relaxation and presence, an improvement in neuromuscular functions, increased concentration and a calming of the mind.

BODYWORK

Trager is an approach to bodywork which uses soft touch and mindful movement to help release tension and restore natural ease in body and mind. This process supports the body’s innate ability to self-regulate and heal, promoting lasting relaxation, improved mobility and a sense of lightness. More than just bodywork, Trager is a learning experience — an invitation to reconnect with effortless movement and wellbeing.

 

The Trager approach communicates safety and ease to the nervous system,
encouraging deep letting go.

FASCIA AND AUTONOMOUS NERVOUS SYSTEM

Trager works primarily at the level of the fascia and the autonomic nervous system. Through gentle rhythmic touch, rocking movements and light compression, clients are invited to experience relaxation, elasticity and ease of movement. Trager helps to release unconscious holding patterns that may limit movement or comfort.

The experience of lightness and effortlessness is integrated into the body’s memory and is always available.

MENTASTICS

In addition to table work, a Trager session often includes „Mentastics“ (short for “mental gymnastics”) — simple, effortless movements playing with gravity. Mentastics can be used between sessions to reinforce new sensations of freedom and ease.

BENEFITS

With its gentle and sensitive approach, Trager is effortless, painless and therefore suitable for people of all ages.
