Touch For Health
What is it?
Touch For Health Kinesiology uses simple muscle testing as a biofeedback tool to find and release blocks of energy flow in the body. Created by Dr. John Thie , D.C. in the 1970’s. He loved the results of Applied Kinesiology, which was created by George Goodheart, D.C., so much, he wrote an instruction book for patients. This originated “Touch For Health.” The simple, user friendly techniques in his book balance the 14 major meridians of the body, reducing restrictions and built up stress and increasing energy flow. This naturally increases good health. Today, the practice of Touch For Health draws upon 30 years of Kinesiology, traditional to modern Eastern and Western medicine and several healing disciplines.
