Synopsis
Milton Trager first gained local fame as a muscular beach acrobat, boxer, and dancer in Miami, but as this biography reveals, the course of his life changed dramatically when he discovered a gift for healing. This work is the story of Milton Trager and Trager Mentastics. It describes Milton Trager's successes in rehabilitating "hopeless" cases of polio, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, and more, and his founding of an institute that has brought benefit to thousands.

great insight into one of alternative medicine's heroes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moving Medicine: Life and Work of Milton Trager, M.D. (Hardcover)
this biography helped give me an insight into the field of alternative medicine, why people are so eager to go to alternative practitioners, and what non-conventional practitioners have to offer that is valuable. milton trager was one of a kind and defines not only what a healer is but also shows the healing capacities within each of us. well written and timely, as dr. trager just died this year at the age of 88.

Moving Medicine: Delightful Book for All in Healing Arts,
By Charles AZ Burnell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moving Medicine: Life and Work of Milton Trager, M.D. (Hardcover)
This book is very enjoyable to read. I found myself enthralled by this odd, athletic man who fairly stumbled into a profound understanding of the mind-body connection. His life-long struggle to bring his discovery to the light of day gives this book a dramatic edge. Milton Traeger started out as an acrobat and a boxer. While working at the post office, he took the advice of an employee notice: "Take a deep breath". The book continues: "Finding himself alone, he lowered his mailbag, paused and breathed. Many years later, he would say:"That was the beginning of me."' It's a great beginning of a great story. I am an acupuncturist who has never had Traeger work, but I recognize key principles from Chinese medicine in what Traeger does and teaches. It is also similar to Chinese medicine in that most of the 'learning' cannot come from theories, it comes through the teacher. It's no wonder that his efforts to teach what he knew in his hands took him to such far away places. I enjoyed this book so much that I deliberately read only a chapter at a time to savor it. I recommend it to anyone, health care practitioner or not. I think it should be on the 'must read' list at massage schools. I wish my doctor would read it too. I hope you buy it. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful:
