Barrie Robbins, LMT, Trager Approach

Barrie Lisa Robbins, Bend's only Certified Trager® Approach Practitioner, offers body work that restores vitality and improves health. Following a session, clients often report feeling calm, rejuvenated, grounded, and realigned. Techniques create gentle, wave-like movements that resonate through the whole body, soothing and releasing unconscious stress and tension in body and mind. No oils are used and clients are fully or lightly clothed. Aren't you ready for bodywork that leaves you feeling lighter and freer, and more at ease in your life? BENEFITS include athletic recovery and performance, improved sleep, reduced anxiety, calmer mind, and more balance, mobility, and flexibility. The same part of the brain stimulated by our movement-sensory system also invites feelings of well-being and greater self-awareness. All side effects of this work are beneficial! Trager is a fantastic tool for aging gracefully. Many people suffer from repetitive patterns of stiffness and pain and can regain compromised range of motion, balance, and flexibility by working with this approach. Anyone experiencing conditions exacerbated by stress, trauma, or habitual movement patterns will benefit from this work. Thai massage blends an ancient practice with movement therapy philosophy, inviting releasing of deep-seated tension in the body that limits freedom and flexibility. Performed on a comfortable floor mat, combines nurturing stretches, acupressure, gentle rocking, and breath work.
