Touch For Health: A Prevention Better Than A Cure.

Touch For Health is a practice of natural preventative medicine, drawing techniques from different physical and philosophical backgrounds. Since first being introduced by John F Thie in 1973,Touch For Health has gone on to become one of the most widely used forms of Kinesiology in the entire world. Using practices gained from using over 30 years of modern Kinesiology, and the spiritual and holistic philosophies of the East, Touch For Health can help prevent illness and stress by balancing the physical, emotional and psychological responses. We do this by making use of a system which balances posture, life attitude and lifestyle to decrease stress and improve vitality. Another important aspect of Touch For Health is the Kinesiological practice of using muscle bio­ feedback to determine in which areas of the body stressors are affecting, and how to reduce that stress.

One of the chief elements separating Touch For Health from other forms of contemporary medicine is that it uses preventative measures. We believe that a persons subjective, personal experiences can affect all aspects of their physical and psychological wellbeing, and work to identify your personal setbacks and stressors and relieve them before they can lead to any physical harms or illnesses. Touch For Health does not claim to be a strict medical practice, and does not claim to be able to diagnose or treat illness. Rather, we believe that Touch For Health should be taught as freely and widely as possible, allowing for anyone to become involved in this exciting and alternative lifestyle and culture.
