Therapeutic Touch is a contemporary interpretation of several ancient healing practices.The definiton of Therapeutic Touch established by Therapeutic Touch International Association (2014): Therapeutic Touch is a holistic,evidence based therapy that incorporates the intentional and compassionate use of universal energy to promote balance and well-being. Therapeutic Touch, a healing method used by thousands of health professionals, was developed in the early 70's by Dora Kunz, a noted healer, and Delores Kreiger, a member of New York University’s nursing faculty. It is based on the belief that a human being is a complex system of energies; disease or dysfunction may occur when there is congestion, depletion, and/or imbalance of energy. Therapeutic touch is administered with the intent to help a person re-pattern energy to facilitate healing. Therapeutic Touch (T.T.), is a consciously directed process of energy exchange during which the practitioner uses hands as a focus for facilitating healing. The most common effect of T.T. is the relaxation response, and it has also been used and studied as a way to reduce pain and accelerate healing.The recipient stays fully clothed during a session. No oils or lotions are used.The practitioner does not have to actually physically touch the recipient to have a beneficial effect.
