Restorative Health Care: Trager Approach

Restorative Health Care title bar

Restorative Health Care, P.C. offers a massage therapy technique called the Trager Approach. It is an extremely gentle form of therapy that assists in mind/body integration and relaxation.

"Trager work is one of the least invasive forms, using gentle rocking and bouncing motions to induce states of deep, pleasant relaxation. It helps the nervous system's communication with the muscles, so that it can be used as a method of rehabilitation especially by people suffering from traumatic injuries, post-polio syndrome, and other chronic muscular problems."

When you begin your Trager Session, your therapist will enter into a state of awareness that is similar to meditation. From this deeper state of awareness, she will use touch and movement to communicate with your body and mind the feeling of an easier way of being and moving.

Your body is supported and gently moved in a pain-free range and natural rhythm. During this therapy, tensions disappear and new movement patterns become possible.

As part of your session, you will receive instruction in Mentastics, the use of self-care movements. With this knowledge, you can integrate Mentastics into your daily life to enhance your feeling of flexibility, ease, and joy.
