Trager Approach techniques used today were created and
developed over a period of 65 years by Milton Trager, who himself continued practising
until he was 89.
They combine gentle, relaxing manipulation called tablework,
with self-care exercises called Mentastics.
In tablework the person receiving the
treatment lies comfortably on a special padded table wearing loose clothes.
Each
person brings with them an individual history. Their body is unique.
The
qualified Trager practitioner is aware of this and will treat a person
according to what they find.
Using graceful and gentle manipulation of limbs
and joints the practitioner works through natural paths of movement.
No attempt is made to put strain or fore on the
receiver's body and the movements induce deep relaxation, increased physical
mobility and mental clarity.
The aim of the tablework session is to promote a
state of mental and physical well-being in the person receiving the treatment
by releasing built up patterns
of tension in the joints and muscles of the body.
