Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a technique in which the hands are used to direct human energy for healing purposes.

Therapeutic Touch practitioners believer that they can identify and rebalance a 'patient's' energy field by simply directing the flow - no physical contact is used - thereby removing any blockages.

Therapeutic Touch is a non-invasive, holistic approach to healing and is based on principles of an energy exchange between people.   A wide variety of approaches are employed, though usually Therapeutic Touch healers will create a calm atmosphere and ask the client to envisage themselves becoming well. Some Therapeutic Touch healers work with the energy of the client without actually touching them, others will hold the head and then work down the spine.

Often clients report feelings of intense heat emanating from the Therapeutic Touch healer's hands and penetrating the body. Many healers see themselves as channels for the healing energy, and believe that everyone potentially has this ability. Despite its name, therapeutic touch rarely involves physical contact between practitioner and patient. Instead, the Therapeutic Touch therapist will move his or her hands just above the body.
