As a person who studied with Feldenkrais and is currently a Trager(r)
Practitioner, I would like to add that any of the deep
relaxation/awareness techniques works in this way. Trager is more about
the functioning of movement from large to small and the relationships of
different structures to the whole. I can work in areas using Trager (for
example, inside the pelvis) that are almost impossible to isolate using
either FI or ATM.
FWIW,
