What is Touch for Health Kinesiology?

Touch for Health is the most widely used system of Kinesiology in the world. Training is open to anyone interested in health care and self help and is internationally recognised as a fundamental training for Kinesiology.

Touch for Health is a simplified version of the non manipulative basic Applied Kinesiology, developed by John Thie. It offers a safe, effective way to maintain health and wellbeing that is available to people with no previous knowledge of the body or how it works.

Touch for Health is a holistic approach to health which teaches the restoring of our natural energies. It is a practical guide to natural health using acupressure, touch and massage to improve postural balance and reduce physical and mental pain and tension.

Take charge of your health and well being! Learn specific hands-on touch techniques that aim to:

  • Accelerate recovery from illness and injuries
  • Reduce or eliminate many different kinds of pain: headaches, backaches, stomach aches, etc
  • Prevent future health problems
  • Increase energy and counteract fatigue
  • Show you immediately which foods are undermining your energy

Touch for Health™ Kinesiology balances the body through muscle testing/monitoring to improve posture and stimulate the body's own healing ability.

Touch for Health™ Kinesiology is experienced fully clothed, sitting, standing, or lying down. Muscle testing/monitoring is a cooperative venture and requires active participation. The system is taught in 4 levels which build on the learning of each one to develop your knowledge and skills. Further training is available if you wish to work professionally as a Kinesiologist.
