Trager

Trager massage is a style of massage that is often referred to as: Jostling or Rocking & Shaking. It is named after Dr. Milton Trager, who developed the concept that gentle rocking and shaking causes the client to ‘let go’ of the muscle or anatomical tension and allows the therapist to get muscles to relax without working against the client, while establishing a sense of confidence and trust.

This massage techique is based on the concept of rocking a baby to sleep.   Gentle, rhythmic, rocking will eventually cause a drowsie or “letting go” of muscle tension resulting in relaxation without deep or invasive muscular work”.
