Upcoming event March 10 at the Sanibel Community House
Live Better with the Trager® Approach
Stress and anxiety are common elements of life today. They feed into chronic pain patterns preventing us from living our most vibrant life. They can even contribute to unhealthy postural and movement habits. A unique method of bodywork that helps to reverse these patterns is The Trager® Approach.
With Trager® work, clients can achieve an inner sense of calm, ease and freedom of movement. Trager® practitioners are specially trained in this gentle, non-intrusive touch and rhythmic movement approach to bodywork.
To learn more about The Trager® Approach, join Marva Sletten, PT, CMPT, CLT-LANA, LMT on March 10 from 12 to 2pm at the Sanibel Community House located at 2173 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, Florida. Marva and visiting Trager® colleagues will provide brief individual sessions. There is no charge for the event.
