What is Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain results from exhausting the body’s adaptive capacity through, injury, trauma, or long term, maladaptive load. This results in psychologic and neurologic changes contributing to chronic pain experience. This course teaches techniques to reset the brain, nervous system, and body towards a state of health and regulation.

What is Trager®? Trager is a unique, neuromuscular approach to bodywork and movement re-patterning that is trauma informed, facially focused, and autonomic regulating. 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. 

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.

Trager® stands alone and beautifully complements other styles of massage. Come and learn the language of the neuromuscular system, and turn the temporary release of tension into an ongoing dissolution of muscular tension patterns. This Introductory Workshop also serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1 Training leading towards certification as a Trager Practitioner.

“A+ Very calming manner, takes time to answer questions. He’s great one on one. I liked the chance to feel for myself what is happening in the body, very easy to follow. Teacher was unexpectedly hilarious, which made me feel less nervous.”

Fantastic. Love the easy going attitude and ability to make the student feel comfortable and at ease while learning new material. Great way to learn how to assess the body in a new way.
Amber Lopez, LMP
This class is up with the best-clear instruction and useful material. I will be able to apply what I have learned immediately. I liked the fact you are teaching us to view the body from the bones and joints to change our way of considering only muscles.
