Trager® Professional Training - Level 1

Join Joseph Rodin in Tri Cities, WA for this Trager^® Level 1 class that takes place over two weekends: May 29-31 & June 26-28, 2026. 

Trager work has become known as a highly effective neuromuscular approach to bodywork and somatic movement therapy with applications in rehabilitation, movement re-patterning, trauma informed care, and psychophysical integration.

Trager Level 1 is a stand alone course as well as the first step of Trager Certification that takes place in Tri Cities, WA (and in other locations), designed for students to experience a deeper level of therapeutic effectiveness and integration. 

Course description and objectives:
This course is designed for students in the fields of massage therapy, physical therapy, body-centered psychotherapy, fitness training, yoga, and other somatic practices. This first step in Professional Certification in the Trager Approach can be taken as a stand alone course. Both Mentastics (mindful movement) & table-work are taught through demonstrations and supervised practice, and you’ll come away with a an full body protocol to integrate into your current bodywork practice and a foundation for subsequent certification to offer the Trager Approach as a primary modality in your practice.

The class will teach effective applications for pain and injury, as well as relief from symptoms of sustained social, emotional and psychological stress. It will also highlight ways of working with manual therapy and body sensation to address the effects of internalized trauma, both recent and long past. Trager is a valuable approach for anyone who wants to elevate awareness in themselves and their clients.
