Touch for Health is a holistic approach that teaches students how to restore the body’s natural energies. It’s a practical approach that uses acupressure, touch reflexes, and massage, to help improve posture, and to reduce physical and mental strain.
About The Workshops
Touch for Health workshops are great for anyone who wants to improve their health and help others to do the same. Basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology are helpful, but not necessary. Touch for Health complements and can be used in conjunction with many other healing modalities. Touch for Health is a modality in itself that balances the body’s muscles and organs and is effective for dealing with pain, posture and stress.

For Parents
Dr. Thie wrote the curriculum with both the professional and layperson in mind. His vision was that at least one person in every family know these techniques. As a mom, I used many of the techniques on my kids growing up. I used muscle testing for food sensitivities. I rubbed neurolymphatics points before sports and to settle nausea after going on a wild ride at an amusement park. I memorized the reflex points that help headaches and stomach aches. There are even techniques to help them feel calm and confident before exams and performances. Learning these techniques can be extremely helpful for parents.
Touch for Health is the most widely used system of kinesiology in the world today.
You can trace most kinesiology programs back to Touch for Health as their original training. It is recognized and respected throughout the world as a solid-foundation course.
Touch for Health was developed by John Thie, DC, in the early 1970’s and incorporates the research of of Dr. George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology. Dr. Thie got great results in his patients by combining Western techniques, Chinese medicine and stimulating specific reflexes on the head and body. He was able to positively affect muscle tension, posture, nutrition, emotion, and attitude in just minutes!
Muscle testing allowed Dr. Thie to discover the hidden cause of many puzzling, chronic conditions. It wasn’t long before patients were coming from far and wide to have him do what seemed like “miracle work” to them.
How it Works
Touch for Health is a systematized method of bringing balance to the body’s energy by muscle response testing (MRT) to determine which stimuli stress the body. Physical stress is then decreased by working various reflexes. Touch for Health’s philosophy is similar to traditional Chinese medicine: a strong emphasis on prevention and balance.
Touch for Health workshops are designed to be accessible to the professional and lay person alike. Formal training in anatomy, physiology, muscles, or Chinese acupressure is not necessary to learn Touch for Health. The muscle testing and balancing procedures taught are common among many holistic practitioners who integrate alternative and complementary therapies, such as chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, nursing, nutrition, etc. as well as the growing profession of specialized kinesiologists.
Many people go to the doctor when trouble arises in order to seek relief from symptoms. Touch for Health focuses on prevention through balance.
