Therapeutic Touch
Human beings need touch - to grow, to develop, to mature, to survive and to thrive. Through healing touch, massage therapy provides people, both young and old, with a sense of connection, nurturing, and care.
What is Therapeutic Touch? Healing touch is a balanced approach, integrating massage therapy with the application of medical principles and compassion. Traditional massage removes physical discomforts and brings relaxation by reducing stress, relieving pain, decreasing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Therapeutic Touch integrates massage techniques with sensitivity, compassion and emotional healing.
Who Benefits From Therapeutic Touch? Compassion makes massage therapy more effective for everyone. Persons needing emotional healing or relationship challenges benefit greatly. Those with a history of abuse or emotional trauma seek more than physical healing through therapeutic touch.
- Past trauma in your life?
- Relationship challenges?
- Experienced physical or sexual abuse?
- Physical or emotional pain?
- Painful memories?
Integrated Massage Techniques. Symptoms and the root cause of deep pain can be treated with massage techniques and therapist sensitivity. Massage to soft tissues (muscles, skin and other tissues), joint movement and verbal exploration can reduce physical pain, relax breathing and process emotional states that may be held in the physical body. The human body is very complex and the physical, emotional and spiritual components are highly integrated. Often, multiple areas must be addressed in order to bring peace and comfort.
Benefits of Therapeutic Touch. The University of Miami Touch Research Institute has researched the effects of massage therapy at all stages of life. Studies have shown that touch therapy

- Reduces stress hormones (coritsol)
- Improves immunity
- Enhances attentiveness
- Alleviates depressive symptoms
