Benefits of Trager Massage

Massage therapy throughout the centuries has been proven to yield good results and has provided beneficial effects on the physical, emotional, and mental condition of the patient. It also acts as a great way of soothing and calming down the body as well as the mind in order to improve our self-awareness, senses, and give us a healthier constitution. As a result, more and more people are becoming interested with the art of healing that is not only effective but also safe due to its all natural techniques.

Trager massage therapy, which is also known as Trager work, works in providing relief for the client's conditions by using movement techniques and mind manipulation. The therapist or practitioner conducts movement re-education techniques in an attempt to regain strength, flexibility and mobility on the affected parts of the body. The soft movements and gentle manipulation of the therapist on the neuromuscular system helps in releasing muscle stiffness, tension, fatigue, and stress. It also helps with the sending signals to the brain to help enhance the mood of the client which is essential in the principle of mind and body coordination. The therapy is also divided into two parts that are beneficial in each way to the client's progress and recovery.

Table Session is the part that acts as a passive session where the practitioner works in coordination with the patient (in the patient's comfort range) to achieve movement. This session acts as a way to determine the range of motion, restrictions, and the areas that needs treatment. The client benefits from it in terms of motion through the release of tension and movement restrictions.

The other part which is known as Mentastics uses active movement in the part of the client along with the self-care techniques taught by the therapist during the massage session in order for the patient to treat him to relieve pain, stress, and fatigue each time they attack.

Most patients express relief from all sorts of conditions right after the therapy session, however the result actually varies from person to person. Most of the outcomes after therapy sessions are beneficial to the patient. Among the benefits include the treatment of a wide range of conditions such as the relief from everyday aches and pain in the muscular system, headaches, migraines, the correction of poor posture, prevention of posture degeneration, and the treatment of sports related injuries and all types of injuries. Individuals with health problems such as Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and multiple sclerosis can also expect healing benefits from the treatment when done in regularly for optimum results. Emotional benefits are also included in the therapy such as the relief from emotional stress and fatigue, as well as the treatment of anxiety and depression.

Anyone can benefit from the wonderful treatment techniques of Trager work. Athletes, office workers, manual laborers, and other types of professions can all gain amazing results in their physical, mental and emotional health with just a single session of this therapy. However, for those who want to have the best results, I would highly suggest that they take regular sessions of the Trager massage therapy.
