TOUCH FOR HEALTH

KINESIOLOGY TRAINING

with Jane Piper K.F.R.P.

Touch for Health is the most widely used energy kinesiology in the world. Combining mus-cle monitoring with principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, TFH enables us to balance the body on a physical, chemical, emotional and subtle energy level.

Touch for Health does not diagnose or treat specific illnesses or disease; by balancing a person’s energy, we stimulate the body’s own innate healing ability to promote health and well-being.

Touch for Health views the body as a bio-computer that is programmed by events, thoughts and beliefs throughout our lives. We respond to present situations based on this programming. When the programme is inappropriate for the present situation we can ex-perience symptoms such as emotional stress, an inability to achieve our goals, postural imbalance, ill health or pain.

Muscle monitoring is an accurate way to ‘read’ the body’s programming. We can then re-set the programme using gentle energy balancing techniques.

Level 1 of the Touch for Health training begins by introducing accurate muscle monitoring skills and a basic toolbox for balancing body, mind and energy. Each of the 4 modules that make up the Touch for Health synthesis build on the one before to create a truly wholistic, person-centred model of healing and personal transformation.

The TFH Proficiency Workshop reviews the entire synthesis in the context of working with actual case studies with a view to registration with the International Kinesiology College and Kinesiology Federation and being insured to practice. A proficiency assessment is arranged after completing the Proficiency weekend and all written evidence of learning and case studies have been completed.

Proficiency is just one step in the kinesiology journey. Having met the Proficiency criteria, you are now able to charge a fee for Touch for Health kinesiology energy balancing while continuing to develop your skills.

Touch for Health is the basis of ALL other energy kinesiologies, so having chosen TFH as your starting point you are able to choose which direction you wish your journey to go. You are now qualified to train as a Touch for Health trainer and/or there are many exciting professional kinesiology training routes available to you.

Kinesiology is a constantly developing field that you could study for a lifetime and still have more to learn. This is an exciting journey that has the potential to change your life and the lives of those you touch for health.

correct those imbalances.

Can I offer Touch for Health balances to the public? Having completed TFH levels 1 – 4, the Proficiency weekend and Proficiency assessment,

you are able to get insurance to offer Touch for Health balances to the public in exchange of

a fee. This could be as a stand alone practice or alongside existing healthcare modalities.

Does kinesiology fit into an existing practice? Kinesiology is frequently used alongside other healthcare practices such as massage, oste-

opathy, chiropractic, nutrition, reiki, to name just a few. Kinesiology can be an amazing tool

with which to tailor a health programme specifically to an individual needs and give the per-

son immediate biofeedback.

tinue your training to a professional level should you wish. Depending on your particular inter-

ests and talents you may choose a kinesiology training that qualifies you to work in the field of

nutrition, stress management, phobia relief, allergy, education, dyslexia, sports performance,
