SUMMARY:TRAGER® LEVEL 1 - SEATTLE
DESCRIPTION:This Trager 1 course takes place February 20-22 & March 27-29\, in Seattle\, WA. Trager work has become known as a highly effective neuromuscular approach to bodywork and somatic movement therapy with applications in rehabilitation\, movement re-patterning\, trauma informed care\, and psychophysical integration. \nTrager Level 1 is a stand alone course as well as the first step of Trager Certification\, designed for students to experience a deeper level of therapeutic effectiveness and integration. \nCourse description and objectives:\nThis course is designed for students in the fields of massage therapy\, physical therapy\, body-centered psychotherapy\, fitness training\, yoga\, and other somatic practices. This first step in Professional Certification in the Trager Approach can be taken as a stand alone course. Both Mentastics (mindful movement) & Table-work are taught through demonstrations and supervised practice\, and you’ll come away with a an full body protocol to integrate into your current bodywork practice and a foundation for  subsequent certification to offer the Trager Approach as a primary modality in your practice. \nThe class will teach effective applications for pain and injury\, as well as relief from symptoms of sustained social\, emotional and psychological stress. It will also highlight ways of working with manual therapy and body sensation to address the effects of internalized trauma\, both recent and long past. Trager is a valuable approach for anyone who wants to elevate awareness in themselves and their clients.  \nMilton Trager\, MD\, who became aware of the basic principles at the age of 18\, spent over 50 years refining this unique approach to somatic movement therapy and bodywork\, achieving high levels of success with effects of Parkinson’s\, MS\, Post Polio Syndrome\, Back Pain\, Migraines\, and Chronic Pain\, while helping patients reconnect to their inherent sense of ageless ease and joy of movement. \nAbout Trager The tablework\, involving deep\, fluid rocking movements (oscillations) of muscles and joints combined with gentle traction and compression\, feeds the brain’s natural neuroplasticity and induces dramatic muscular relaxation\, along with feelings of lightness\, freedom\, and flexibility. Sessions also include individualized\, mindful\, somatic movement explorations called Mentastics. \nPrerequisites\nIt is highly recommended to have taken an Introduction to Trager Approach class\, live or online\, and receive one or more Trager sessions prior to class to get the most from the training.  \nPayment\nThe cost of both weekends together (six days) is $1\,345. Those who’ve taken any Trager Intro are entitled to $100 discount. Payment plans and sliding scale available\, please inquire. \nInstructor: Joseph Rodin is a Trager Practitioner and Tutor\, and a practicing bodyworker and psychotherapist in Seattle\, WA. He teaches continuing education courses throughout the Northwest and beyond. Into his courses he also weaves his background with Percussion and Afro Brazilian Dance. \n

SUMMARY:Trager Level 1 - Spokane
DESCRIPTION:New 2nd weekend option added.\nFirst Weekend: April 18-20th.\nSecond Weekend: April 25-27th OR *June 27-29th. \nWhy Trager® Certification\nDr. Milton Trager\, MD\, recognized well before contemporary knowledge on neuroplasticity\, autonomic regulation and current pain science\, that new information introduced to areas in the unconscious mind\, gently and with skill\, activates positive neurological changes which improve movement patterns and decrease pain. He referred to his work as Psychophysical Integration. \nTrager® Practitioners work in a calm\, cultivated\, meditative state\, enhancing therapist efficacy\, ease\, career longevity\, and facilitating neuroceptive co-regulation for client and therapist alike. Using the language of touch and movement they promote enhanced sensory awareness and ease of movement. \nTrager® sessions include gentle integrative waves combined with compressions and elongations and within a variety of amplitudes\, vectors  and rhythms\, received in a calming atmosphere. Cumulative in nature\, this work promotes ease\, physical mobility\, an enhanced sense of safety\, agency and natural movement. \nA mental\, emotional and physical education\, Trager® sends clients into the world with the physical efficiency and coordination that leads to effortless movement. Milton Trager called this feeling a place beyond relaxation\, a place of peace and agelessness. \nWhy Trager® Certification\nLevel 1 can be taken as a free standing course and is the first step of Trager Certification\, a program designed for students who want to develop Trager® as a primary modality in their practice. It offers highly focused\, in-depth training with the exploration\, supervision\, and feedback necessary for students to establish a successful Trager® practice. Being certified also allows the practitioner to market themselves with a tangible credential. Upon certification\, with their permission\, the US Trager® Association lists practitioners on its website as part of its referral network. \nDates for Trager® Level 1 and Certification\nLevel 1\, April 18-20 and May 25-27 OR *June 27-29th.\nGuided Practice\, sessions and tutorials: July\, tbd\nLevel 2\, Fall\, 2025\, tbd. \nWhat is Trager?\nTrager is a unique\, neuromuscular approach to bodywork and movement re-patterning. The tablework consists of deep\, fluid rocking movements (oscillations) of muscles and joints combined with compression and gentle traction. This feeds into the nervous system resulting in dramatic muscular relaxation\, along with feelings of lightness\, freedom and flexibility. The client is also shown simple exercises called mentastics which helps integrate the profound changes in the body. \nMilton Trager\, MD\, who became aware of the basic principles at the age of 18\, spent over 50 years refining this unique approach to somatic movement therapy and bodywork\, achieving high levels of success with effects of Parkinson’s\, MS\, Post Polio Syndrome\, Back Pain\, Migraine’s\, and Chronic Pain\, while helping patients reconnect to their inherent sense of ageless\, ease and joy of movement. \n  \nInstructor:\nJoseph Rodin is a licensed massage therapist\, psychotherapist\, and certified Trager® practitioner. His somatic background includes intensive study of Trager®\, along with extensive coursework in osteopathic inspired manual therapy methods. Joseph took his first Trager® course in 1995 and returned to later to become certified in 2010. Since then\, he has taught numerous Trager® introductory classes\, mentored with and assisted senior Trager® instructors\, been a Trager® Tutor and is the past President of the US Trager® Association and past member of the Board of Directors for Trager International. He’s presented on Trager and TMJ at Trager Conferences live\, virtually\, and for the Tragerology organization. \nJoseph’s movement experience began with being a Yoga Instructor for fourteen years and a student of Afro-Brazillian Dance and Percussion. These inform his Trager® work as much as his varied background with psychotherapy and bodywork. In Seattle\, in addition to seeing clients for psychotherapy\, Joseph has a strong manual therapy practice with a clinical focus on headache\, TMJ and chronic pain. He teaches courses around the Northwest and beyond in The Trager Approach\, myofascial release\, intraoral massage\, craniosacral and more. His passion for teaching is based on empowering students to further develop their unique gifts\, to convey both the art and science of manual therapy\, and to use the path of bodywork as mindful contemplation and inquiry into the healing process for client and therapist alike. \n*This additional option for a second weekend was requested by several prospective students and goes into effect with minimum of 4 students.
