Introduction to Trager Principles
This method allows clients to experience a deep state of relaxation, improved mobility and mental clarity. The practitioner first learns to create feelings of freedom and movement in their own body and convey this to the client. These pleasant sensations are created with non-intrusive, natural, rhythmic movements like gentle rocking, shimmering, lengthening movements resenting the body, with a new sensory sensation.
