...an interpretation of the teachings of Dr. Milton Trager...

Freedom Bodywork®

Freedom from pain
Freedom from tension
Freedom from fatigue
Freedom from boredom

There is a way of working that is easier. That is fun and effective and deep. Bodywork that inspires you to develop your intuition, connecting ever more deeply with yourself and your client, bringing satisfaction and peace to your day.

This is a way of working that your clients will thank you for. They will be delighted with new moves you bring to the table, new attitudes, and style. They will smile broadly when they leave your office, walking on a cloud, deeply relaxed, renewed, refreshed, satisfied, at peace.

In the Freedom Bodywork course of study, you will learn a refined set of body/mind principles and a full bodywork protocol for applying those principles, thus enabling you to effect highly desirable lasting change in your client's body.

The material presented in this class is drawn from Nancy's Trager® practice of more than 35 years. In this experiential class, you will learn movement explorations and hands-on protocol for the legs, back, shoulders, abdomen, ribcage, and neck. You will explore rhythmic movement, spirit of inquiry, imagination, intention, freedom, creativity, listening touch, responding, suggesting, accepting, meditative states of mind, connection, nurturing, love, safety, playfulness, fun, pleasure, gravity, weightlessness, ease, memory and recall.

Technique (Level 1- Back of the Body): Full basic protocol to address back of the body including weighing, compression, tossing, shimmers, rocking, rhythmic movement, sculpting, and elongation.
