Title:

FOUR BENEFITS OF TOUCH FOR HEALTH: EVIDENCE-BASED

Description:

A touch can speak volumes about how a person feels—love, hatred, anger, pain, or joy—at the same time it can spark these feelings in those who are touched. Experimental studies demonstrate that a touch can facilitate growth and development not only among human beings but also among nematodes, rats, monkeys, and other animals. Early Chinese writings also spoke of the healing power of touch through massage; in this sense, massage therapy is a touch of health and – for this reason – it is becoming very popular especially among health and fitness enthusiasts. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
