Touch for Health is a system
of natural health care made simple and easy to learn and use.
It was designed to empower everyone to take care of their
and their families' needs. This simple system teaches a range
of gentle yet powerful healing techniques to improve health,
well-being and vitality.
The synthesis of Touch for Health techniques
involves skills researched from modern chiropractic, naturopathy,
osteopathy and ancient Chinese acupuncture. Touch for Health
uses the muscles as a biofeedback mechanism. This becomes
a greater tool that works at the connection between body
and mind; using electromagnetic energy system called meridians,
which are the interface between the physical and subtle
energy bodies.
Learn about the many different energy systems
that are in our bodies, and the specific muscles related
to them.
These energy systems maintain balance and
harmony within the body addressing the health triangle:
Structural, Nutritional, and Emotional - stresses common
in our everyday life.
Raising energy through the acupuncture
meridian system allows the person to feel positive health
benefits, encouraging the natural process of the body to
enhance health and vitality.
The Touch for Health Synthesis
is aimed at the widest audience. It is a must for anyone
focused on achieving optimum health and peak performance
in all areas of their lives from the general public through
