What is therapeutic touch good for?

Most studies indicate that therapeutic touch can relieve tension headaches and reduce pain, such as pain associated with burns, osteoarthritis, or following surgery. It may also speed wound healing and improve function in those with arthritis. In fact, studies show that therapeutic touch stimulates cell growth.

Therapeutic touch is a healing modality developed in the 1970s by nurse researcher Dolores Krieger and natural healer Dora Kunz. It is a contemporary interpretation of ancient healing practices in which the energy of a healer's hands is used to promote healing in another person.

As we can see we pass our hands over the person's body and with our energy we will heal their afflictions and feel the places where we need to spend more time with our hands. This therapy can last from 3 to 10 minutes, and once finished the person will feel better.

I will explain you about therapeutic touch, this is a type of energy therapy.
It is based on using the therapist's energy (biofield) to influence the patient's biofield. In general, practitioners do not physically touch the patient; instead, they move their hands at a distance over the patient.
The patient may be seated or lying down and a typical session lasts approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
The goal of the technique is to help people relax, relieve pain and help them heal faster.
Therapeutic Touch can benefit people of all ages and all states of health or illness.
Interestingly, it is being studied for patients receiving cancer treatments to determine if it can improve quality of life, boost the immune system or reduce side effects.

💆‍♀️Therapeutic Touch is based on the following assumptions;✨

The human being is an open energy system composed of layers of energy that are in constant interaction with self, others, and the environment.

Illness is an imbalance in an individual's energy field.

Clearing or balancing the energy field promotes health.

All humans have natural abilities to heal and enhance the healing in others.

How might Therapeutic Touch benefit your health and wellbeing?

The goal of Therapeutic Touch is to assist the recipient in tapping into their own healing process and to restore wholeness and wellbeing at the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of the person.

Therapeutic Touch does not attempt to cure disease, but rather to stimulate the body's natural healing process. According to Therapeutic Touch texts, the major effects of Therapeutic Touch are a deep relaxation response, reduction of pain and anxiety, and faster wound healing.

Practitioners believe that this therapy promotes health and wellbeing and eases the dying process.  Patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation have found it helpful in reducing side effects of treatment, such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, or fatigue. Others have seen reduced feelings of anxiety or grief.

Where can I find a practitioner?

The best way to choose a practitioner is to get a referral from a trusted source. Before you visit, ask the practitioner about his or her educational preparation and experience. Make sure the practitioner has completed three levels of training and a supervised mentorship. Explain your specific needs and ask if he/she has worked with similar cases and if he/she can confidently serve you.

You should feel comfortable working with the Therapeutic Touch practitioner.
