In an Introduction to Touch for Health (book originally published by John Thie, DC in 1977), we will explore the origin of Energy (Applied) Kinesiology. TFH offers a holistic approach to balancing posture, energy, and attitude using muscle testing and touch reflexes. Touch for Health advocates a wellness-centered, life-affirming approach, encouraging health-promoting action. Health care professionals and lay people alike may use these tools for empowerment, self-responsibility, holistic wellness and energy balancing.
During this introductory class, we will demonstrate and practice manual muscle testing as a bio-feedback tool and learn other balancing tools which tap into the body’s own innate healing intelligence to clear energy blockages and facilitate health and well-being.
