2026-01-25 09:00 - 18:00 UTC | ABE Massage School, 621 The Parkway, Richland, WA, 99352, United States
We’ll learn transforming trauma-informed care for lasting healing utilizing The Trager® Approach, Positional Release, and Polyvagal Theory.

This class invites massage and somatic practitioners to explore the profound impact of non-verbal touch in restoring trust, releasing chronic tension, and awakening the body’s innate resilience.
Grounded in the principles of Presence, Co-regulation, Neuroplasticity, and empowerment through movement, Trager® integrated with Positional Release has demonstrated significant benefits for those dealing with PTSD, musculoskeletal and chronic pain, addiction, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Learn to create safety through rhythmic, effortless movement, presence-based touch and holds, and meeting clients where they are—without force or agenda. When the body feels invited rather than fixed, true change occurs.

“We’ll also incorporate Trager somatic movement exercises that build on the gains achieved during table work, empowering your clients to engage with their world differently and transform their human experience.
If you’re ready to enhance your practice with greater depth, compassion, and clinical effectiveness, this class is your gateway. Join us to elevate your skills and become part of a community committed to making a meaningful difference.

This NCBTMB accredited workshop also serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1Training leading towards certification as a Trager® Practitioner.
