Therapeutic Touch
Therapeutic Touch (TT) is an energy-based, non-invasive healing technique used to reduce pain, tension, and stress. It is based on the notion that all living things possess an energy field, and through the use of gentle and non-invasive touch, practitioners can help to balance and restore that energy. In addition to its use for reducing stress and promoting relaxation, Therapeutic Touch is believed to have positive effects on physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as aiding in the healing of illnesses. It may also be used to help reduce the side-effects of medical treatments, such as chemotherapy. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Therapeutic Touch in improving physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. It is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free modality that can be used in conjunction with many other healing modalities.
