Touch has become neglected in modern day medicine (and western societies); even so it is one of the most basic human needs.

Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a classical tool of Holistic Medicine, the traditional medical system of Europe. It was used by the old Greek doctors - famously Hippocrates, and was used throughout Europe over 2000 years until the middle of the 19th century.

TT, also known as manual medicine, is much more powerful than many modern, biometrically oriented physicians give credit to.

Pain and discomfort
are often located in areas, where the client holds unprocessed trauma/emotions.

Touching helps the client to focus on this area and brings the client in better contact with the tissue affected. Lack of presence (lack of awareness / consciousness) in the body seems to be connected with many symptoms that can be easily addressed simply by sensitive touch.

When touch is combined with therapeutic work on mind and feelings, holistic
healing seems to be facilitated and many problems can be solved in a direct and
easy way in the clinic without drugs.
