The Benefits of Healing Touch

Healing Touch is non-invasive and economical; it can take place in any setting and does not require any equipment.

Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of Healing Touch is the extreme relaxation it can offer—it is not unusual for clients to fall asleep on the table. And when our body is extremely relaxed, it can focus on the important work of healing.

Research also suggests that Healing Touch:

• reduces stress
• calms symptoms of anxiety
• decreases pain
• may help to alleviate depression and PTSD
• strengthens the immune system
• enhances recovery from surgery
• complements care for neck and back problems
• supports cancer care
• creates a sense of well being
• deepens spiritual connections
• eases acute and chronic conditions

Research continues to demonstrate positive outcomes for Healing Touch. However, please keep in mind that individual experiences can vary.
