Welcome to the United States Trager Association |
The Trager Approach is a pleasurable, gentle and effective approach to movement education and mind/body integration; the effects are deep and long-lasting. Many people seek Trager sessions for personal growth or increased feelings of joy and wellness.
Dr. Milton Trager devoted his life to exploring the effects of these gentle movements on the nervous system, which he associated with the unconscious mind. To learn more about the Trager Approach or the United States Trager Association, please explore the links on the left of this page. |

The Principles of the TRAGER Approach - Part 3 |

(From Moving Medicine: The Life and Work of Milton Trager, MD) copyright Jack Liskin, 1996 Tightness and Looseness As with resistance, the tighter and harder the tissue, the lighter and softer the practitioner works to encourage change, until the messages of lightness and softness are picked up by the receiver and the tissue responds by loosening and softening. With a person who is too loose--that is, where there is weakness, flaccidity, or even paralysis--the practitioner evokes reflex muscle activity. The practitioner evokes a response by providing the lightest of resistance, sending a message of tension until the receiver's tissue is activated. The necessary tension is then reinforced by repeated messages coming from different directions. This gradually conditions the receiver to respond automatically to signals from the environment that require resistance. |
