This 24-hour course is a comprehensive training in Dr. Milton Trager’s foundational principles of somatic movement, touch, and presence.

Milton Trager MD.
This somatic training is fully rooted and deeply steeped in the ‘active’ and transformational teachings of Milton Trager’s Mentastics, or ‘mental gymnastics’, a phrase coined by Milton and his Wife Emily. As a teenager Milton Trager discovered how his curiosity, athleticism, and sense of touch informed his interoception, life-long development and evolution of what became known as the Trager® Approach and Psychophysical Integration. Dr. Trager’s work produced generations of Trager Practitioners, Educators, and plays a unique and profound influence in the field of bodywork, somatic movement therapy, and wellness training worldwide.

Who should attend?
This course is specifically tailored for massage therapists, bodyworkers, somatic therapists, and other manual therapists of all levels of experience. It serves those who are struggling as ‘hard-working’ therapists and/or for those who are teetering on the edge of burnout, to the manual professionals who are drawn to broadening their current understanding (practical and science-based) in how to reach the mind, promoting positive neuroplasticity, repatterning and agency in daily wellbeing!
