SUMMARY:THE SCIENCE OF PRESENCE TOUCH AND MOVEMENT - A DEEP DIVE FOR BODYWORKERS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a transformative three-day class designed to elevate your practice by integrating cutting-edge scientific principles with hands-on techniques. Emphasis on Neuroanatomy of Trager Approach. \n  \nDay 1: Presence \n\nExplore the critical importance of presence in bodywork.\nLearn how to cultivate and deepen this essential skill.\nPractice presence with different focal points to enhance client outcomes.\nDive into the science of the nervous system\, biotensegrity\, and the forces of gravity and ground reaction\, understanding how weight distribution in your own body impacts your client’s experience.\n\nDay 2: Touch \n\nDelve into the art and science of touch\, examining why we touch and who is really touching whom.\nPrepare your hands to deliver therapeutic touch\nBecome familiar with sensory receptors\, mechanotransduction\, and the pathways that shape our touch experience\, from the somatosensory cortex to the insular cortex.\nDifferentiate between gnostic and pathic touch and explore the unique qualities of soft matter in bodywork.\n\nDay 3: Movement \n\nNavigate the existing and emerging paradigms of movement science.\nUnderstand joint mechanics\, proprioceptors\, and the role of mechanotransduction in movement.\nDiscover the importance of novelty in movement\nLearn about motor unit recruitment\, central pattern generators\, and the importance of full joint excursion for balanced and effective bodywork.\n\nElevate your practice by integrating these scientific insights with hands-on experience\, and watch as your effectiveness as a bodyworker reaches new heights. \n  \nInstructor: Eileen Dickinson: \nEileen has been practicing physical therapy and the Trager Approach for several decades. Growing from her roots in Physical Therapy\, she has been studying scientific information that is applicable to Movement and Manual Therapy\, notably Trager\, for many years. Biotensegrity\, a rich and emerging field of science\, is her most recent study. She loves sharing her current understanding of the anatomical and physiological correlates of Manual\, Movement\, and especially Trager principles\, processes\, and outcomes.

SUMMARY:DYNAMIC MOBILIZATIONS - WHOLE BODY APPLICATIONS - USING THE TRAGER® APPROACH
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Mobilizations is a new offering with different\, complimentary content to other Trager courses. Go beyond passive and active range of motion by using the weight of the mobilized\, relaxed body against changing hand fulcrums and waves of various amplitudes. This is similar to the combination of the fluid dynamics of breath and fingers playing a solo on a flute or saxophone. This approach allows for deep tissue access and clinical creativity and specificity without sacrificing a feeling of safety and comfort for client and therapist alike. \nWe’ll explore mobilizations for the whole body including neck\, shoulder girdle\, spine and pelvis. We’ll explore prone\, supine and sidelying work\, and explore somatics (Trager Mentastics) that bring greater presence for client and therapist. \nLearn to: \n\n\n\n\n• Impact joints\, organs\, fascia and fluids\n• Increased proprioceptive reintegration\n• determine restrictions three dimensionally\n• simultaneously affect local and global change\n• trauma informed touch promotes neuroceptive safety\n• leverage the sensory-motor system for resolution of pain \n\n\n\n\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  \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.

SUMMARY:TRAGER® LEVEL 1 PRACTICE DAY
DESCRIPTION:Level up your skills while progressing towards Level 2 curriculum. We’ll review and refine our learning with labs\, somatics\, trades\, and an afternoon clinic working with outside guests. Open to Level 1 students and beyond. Students will be consulted for priorities for the review class. \n  \n  \n  \n \nInstructor: Joseph Rodin\, MA\, LMHC\, LMT. Gwen Joseph has practiced bodywork for over 25 years. He teaches Trager\, Intra-Oral Massage\, Myofascial Release and other subjects throughout the Northwest and beyond. He lives in Seattle where he practices psychotherapy and bodywork\, specializing in TMJ\, Headache\, and chronic pain presentations. \n  \n  \nWhat is Trager®?
