Dr. Milton Trager was a curious blend of tough and gentle, with a history just as unexpected. A man who dropped out of high school at fourteen only to become an M.D., he was a quiet, private man who nonetheless enjoyed performing as a professional acrobat and dancer.
The Trager Approach is a gentle way to let go of stress, lose pain caused by patterns of habitual tension and to rediscover relaxation. The gentle rhythmic movements allow the body to let go and move easily.
Trager psychophysical integration therapy, also known as the Tragerwork system of physical integration, is a combination of hands-on tissue mobilization, relaxation , and movement reeducation called Mentastics.
Bodywork and manual therapy are general terms that refer to body manipulation therapies used for relaxation and pain relief. Massage is a well-known form of manual therapy.
