While manual (hands-on) therapies have been around in various forms for thousands of years, this presentation will introduce recent advances and their contributions to improved wellness. A short introduction on the main types of “touch” therapies will precede the main topic, followed by a few demonstrations using people attending this event. The main topic will focus on how the body reacts to stress and trauma and ways to enhance recovery.
