Trager® Neurophysical Integration is a movement modality that uses rocking, elongation and compression to re-balance misaligned soft tissue systems. The resulting release of mental-muscular holding patterns reduces pain and stiffness that limit mobility and ease. With an educational aspect integrated into the work, Trager® helps patients achieve painless movement through hands-on bodywork and awareness training. Trager® reaches deep-seated, longstanding tissue limitations, mental holding habits and more through relaxing bodywork. If you don't like deep tissue, but need some effective muscle release, is the gentle, non-invasive option for you.
