TRAGER® LEVEL 2 –Part A

Come join us on the waterfront in Orcas Island, WA for Trager Level 2, Part A, with Joseph Rodin, October 3-5th.

Trager Level 2,  a stand alone class and the second step of Trager Certification, is designed for students to experience a deeper level of creativity, therapeutic effectiveness, and integration. Trager Level 1 is a prerequisite.

Course description and objectives:
Both Mentastics (mindful movement) & Table-work are taught through demonstrations and supervised practice and you’ll come away with a more expanded full body protocol to integrate into your current bodywork practice and a more comprehensive foundation for subsequent certification to offer Trager Approach as a primary modality in your practice.

The 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.

About 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.

Instructor: Joseph Rodin MA, LMP, CTP., has been practicing bodywork for over twenty-five years. A certified Trager® Practitioner, Tutor and Instructor, he’s also studied and taught intra-oral massage, cranial sacral therapy and other forms of manual therapy. He’s worked at the nationally recognized TMJ Orofacial Disorders Center and Mind Your Body Pain Clinics in Seattle and currently enjoys his private practice in Psychotherapy, Trager and Manual Therapy.

Milton 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.
