Deirdre Hormel offers Trager bodywork in the same building as our Grand Ave clinic. The Trager approach offers “psycho-physical integration” through movement education. Gentle rocking movements are used to explore your range of motion and stimulate the brain to a greater awareness and knowledge of how to move muscles more easily. The result is freer and easier body movement and reduced pain. This approach can be especially beneficial for neuromuscular conditions and is widely used for stroke rehabilitation, MS, arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, and disc injuries as well as general pain relief and relaxation. Trager is new to me, but I can report that after my first session I definitely noticed increased ease and joy in movement, and I’m curious to explore this modality further as a way of becoming more present in my body and recovering that innate love of movement that I had as a child.
