Waves Of Hope Teaching The Trager® Approach In Post-Tsunami Sri Lanka. By Kelly Prentic

...It was the sheer force of the tsunami - the largest natural disaster in world history - that first drew Michael Lear to this island paradise in 2005….

In 2007, Lear was able to return to Navajeevana Rehabilitation Hospital for the third time to share Milton Trager’s innovative approach to movement re-education, thanks to support from the U. S. Trager Association and the Real Medicine Foundation. His six-week stay would include dozens of Trager sessions with Navajeevan patients, many bumpy trips in miniature took-took cabs to villages served by Real Medicine clinics, and hours of training sessions for therapists in [the Trager] approach to movement and self-care.
