Therapeutic Touch, a contemporary interpretation
of several ancient healing practices. A consciously directed process,
during which the Practitioner uses the hands to focus for facilitating
healing. It is administered with the intent of helping people
change their energy in the direction of health.
Therapeutic Touch is practiced by thousands of
health care providers and has been accepted by a number of hospitals
in Ontario as a nursing intervention.
Scientific research and experience shows Therapeutic
Touch to be effective in:
- Eliciting a relaxing response
- Reducing anxiety
- Altering the patient's perception of pain
- Enhancing the body's natural healing process
