Touch is a human need.  It is one of the first senses we develop. Some children who not had healthy touch have failure to thrive. Sadly, there have even been deaths because a child did not receive human touch in the way that they need. Adults, as well as children, can experience depression and even become ill if they do not experience healthy touch on a regular basis. 

Healthy touch can give us a feeling of connection, it can ground us, it can help reduce anxiety or elevate a depressive mood. It helps us bond emotionally with ourselves and with others. Healthy touch can help lower blood pressure, strengthen our immune system, as well reduce pain and inflammation. 

Healthy Touch is an essential component to our health and well-being. For more information, please visit our website at AdvancedHealthClinic
