GENERAL

What Happens During a Balance?

Loose fitting trousers and the removal of your shoes make your balance easier. Your TFH therapist will carry out a brief case history and talk through any relevant issues with you. Your body, arms and legs will be guided into a series of muscle-testing positions so the muscle response can be gauged and relevant corrections made. This can be done standing, lying or a mixture of both. Often, you will be asked to set yourself an emotional “goal” to incorporate into the procedure, and your therapist can guide you with this, although it will not be a probing or intrusive process.

During your balance you will be asked to feel for yourself and comment on anything you experience – how a muscle response feels different to you, or how a correction feels - it is very much a shared experience rather than something being “done” to you. The corrections will be gentle, and can include massage of neurolymphatic points on the body, holding of points on your head, acupressure holding points on limbs, tracing of meridians and many others. Sometimes massage of points can be uncomfortable, but not unbearably painful, and if something really hurts, ask your therapist to stop!

During your balance, your therapist will be able to show you some techniques you can use on yourself, and may offer some meridian-related nutrition advice. They will be very likely to advise you to drink more pure water too, as water keeps the energy flowing.

What Conditions Can Be Helped By TFH?

Many varied conditions can be improved by TFH. In my experience as a student and a practitioner, I have seen clients suffering from IBS, shoulder pain, fear of travel, poor self esteem, old sports injuries, over-eating problems, anger issues, broken ribs to name but a few.

A TFH Balance can help you prepare with confidence for a potentially stressful event, such as an interview or performance. It can help heal old scars, physical or emotional and to speed up natural healing processes after illness or surgery. Touch for Health can help identify the root causes of stress that in turn causes discomfort and by releasing that stress, allow you to optimise your life potential.

It is important to remember that in line with our code of ethics, a kinesiologist will help to balance the body's energy, not claim to "treat" any specific disease in the way a doctor would.
