Therapeutic Touch: A Non-Pharmacological Approach to Pain, Anxiety and Discomfort - VIDEO
The practice of Therapeutic Touch offers your patients/residents another option in care. This healing modality can decrease anxiety and agitation, reduce pain and discomfort, strengthen the body’s own healing resources, and improve one’s sense of well being. Therapeutic Touch can also comfort those in the dying process.  

During this 60-minute webinar, you will learn about treating the whole person and the difference between curing and healing. By implementing Therapeutic Touch, you can now offer your patients/residents a way to feel connected, receive comfort and not rely on just medication alone to improve their sense of well being. The purpose of this program is to share information and educate health care workers regarding the integrative practices available in the health care arena today.
