Written on June 8th in Information
This therapy is receiving increasing attention from the media and from the medical profession.. It has been demonstrated that healing is enhanced when relaxing Therapeutic Touch is used. A growing number of nurses use Therapeutic Touch in hospitals and nursing homes.
An energy field surrounds every living thing, and when injury or dis-ease is present a blockage in the energy field occurs. Therapeutic Touch can restore the energy to a more healthy pattern, resulting in relaxation and faster healing. Scientific studies have shown that after operations or injury healing is enhanced, and pain reduced when the patient receives Therapeutic Touch.
After a brief explanation of the therapy, the client lies on a padded table fully clothed. The therapist makes an initial assessment of the clients energy field and then using her hands proceeds to clear areas of congestion. The process is repeated until the areas of congestion have been cleared allowing energy to flow naturally. Clients feel very relaxed and frequently report feeling more comfortable. Each session usually lasts one hour.
