About Us Trager work is based on the premise that discomfort, pain, and reduced functionality are physical symptoms of accumulated tension resulting from accidents, weak posture, fear, emotional blockages, and daily stress. During a typical session, clients lie on a padded table while a practitioner gently rocks and lengthens the client's body to release tension.
Table work is followed by a short movement lesson for continued self-care.
