Therapeutic Touch Therapy
In Therapeutic Touch, therapists place their hands on or near their patient's body with the intention to help or heal. The focus is on balancing the energies of the total person and stimulating the body's own natural healing ability.
Modality Overview & Mechanism
In Therapeutic Touch, therapists place their hands on or near their patient's body with the intention to help or heal. The focus is on balancing the energies of the total person and stimulating the body's own natural healing ability rather than on the treatment of specific physical diseases. By identifying and harmonizing biofield imbalances, Therapeutic Touch activates parasympathetic relaxation, relieves pain, and facilitates natural cellular recovery.
