Therapeutic Touch

Therapeutic touch balances and directs the flow of human energy. There is quite a bit of clinical research to support this healing modality. It is used in pain reduction, relaxation, hospice services, as well as even wound healing. Conduct disorder symptoms in children can even be addressed.

Background

Dora Kunz and Dolores Krieger established this form of healing model in the 1970’s. Dr. Krieger has indicated that this model has its origin in ancient healing practices. Dr. Krieger was a nursing educator at New York University, while Ms. Kunz was the one time president of the Theosophical Society.

In this healing model, the therapist acts as an energy support system, while the patient heals him or herself. Once a patient’s immune system has been restored, the patient is able to manage their own energy flow.

This system is used both as a preventative mechanism as well as treatment for illness and disease. It has been found that this therapy works even on health challenges that the person is not even aware.
