Therapeutic Touch:

Therapeutic touch (TT) is a technique of healing, invented by Dolores Krieger in the early 1970s. Is derived from an ancient technique called laying-on of hands. It is based on the premise that it is the healing force of the therapist that affects the patient's recovery; healing is promoted when the body's energies are in balance; and, by passing their hands over the patient, healers can identify energy imbalances.

It is a non-invasive, holistic approach to healing which stimulates the receiver's own recuperative powers. Therapeutic Touch is a modern form of laying-on-of-hands and is based on principles of an energy exchange between people which is useful in reducing or eliminating pain, promote healing, and elicit a relaxation response.

Its well-documented effects of accelerated wound healing and pain reduction have made this practice a popular adjunct treatment of acutely ill hospitalized patients. Its benefits, however, can be experienced by anyone. By virtue of its simplicity and efficacy, Therapeutic Touch is now taught in more than 80 universities and is practiced by 30,000 professionals.
