TOUCH FOR HEALTH 1-4

 

One Weekend Per Month | Open to Everyone | No Prior Qualifications Required

Imagine having practical, powerful tools at your fingertips to support your own health, your family’s wellbeing, and your clients — all in a gentle, empowering way.

Over four transformative weekends, you will learn the complete Touch for Health system, created by Dr. John Thie with the vision that ordinary people could support health and wellbeing in the home.

This training is open to everyone. You do not need any previous qualifications or experience — only curiosity and a willingness to learn.

What is Touch for Health?

Touch for Health is a holistic system of kinesiology that uses muscle monitoring and the principles of Chinese Traditional Medicine to identify imbalances in the body’s energy system and supports balance through gentle correction techniques.

Since 1973, Touch For Health has been taught in over 100 countries and has positively affected millions of people worldwide. In 1990, Dr. John Thie, D.C., founder of Touch For Health, appointed the International Kinesiology College (IKC) as the custodian of the Touch For Health Synthesis, with its faculty administering the teaching internationally.

This globally recognised system continues to empower individuals with practical skills to support health and wellbeing, both at home and in professional settings.

It recognises that true wellbeing is multi-dimensional — involving the electrical, emotional, structural and nutritional aspects of the body.

Throughout Levels 1-4 you will learn how specific muscles relate to energy pathways, and will gain practical hands-on skills on how working with these systems can restore harmony and vitality in each of these areas.

 

What You Will Learn

The course is usually taught in four modules of 15 hours each, presented as fun, interactive workshops along with a private What's App group for additional support. Included in these programmes, you will learn about the different energy systems within the body and the specific muscles related to them. These systems support balance, harmony, and overall wellbeing.
