What is Touch for Health Kinesiology? Touch for Health | Top Ten Pain Releasers | Clinic 1 Treat, Reactive M. & Gait

Dr. George Goodheart began combining acupuncture theory with a variety of western discoveries that involved touch reflexes and muscle testing. He discovered that there was a relationship not only between meridians and major organs but also muscles. He called his system Applied Kinesiology. Today taught exclusively to MD’s and Chiropractors.

One of Dr. Goodheart’s earliest students, Dr. John Thie, saw it's potential and developed a simpler system for laypeople. He called it Touch For Health (TFH).

While Touch for Health was originally designed with the layperson in mind, many health professionals have found it to be a wonderful complementary approach to enhance their practice.

TFH is a very effective system for stress and pain reduction. TFH uses muscle testing to determine imbalances in the body's acupuncture system. TFH Kinesiology looks beyond symptoms and does not diagnose, treat or prescribe named diseases. Once imbalances are identified, a variety of gentle touch techniques can be used to release energy blockages and allow the body’s innate healing processes to heal itself.

The list of challenges for which TFH Kinesiology can be effective is endless. All kinds of conditions, both chronic and acute, have responded to these natural methods. Physical pain such as headaches, backaches, TMJ and repetitive strain injuries are a few of the many body issues that have been helped quite effectively. Also insomnia and jet lag respond quite well to this approach. Mental performance can be dramatically improved as these techniques enhance neurological functioning. Kinesiology is also very effective in releasing fears, phobias, unconscious self-sabotage and emotional trauma.

Today one of the most widely used and fastest growing wellness systems in the world, TFH has been taught in over 100 countries and the Touch For Health manual has been translated into over 20 languages.
