Touch for Health Synthesis

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Touch for Health is usually taught in a series of four weekends or in a week-long intensive retreat. It is the foundation of Specialized Kinesiology. Over the course of the four levels students learn how to monitor 42 muscles and a series of simple yet powerful corrective techniques. These muscles work as indicators for the 14 pathways of meridian flow.

The full Touch for Health™ Course Syllabus as approved by the International Kinesiology College is laid out below for each level. Check the schedule for upcoming classes.

Upon finishing the four levels, you can take a Proficiency Assessment as part of your criteria towards the TFH Consultant Program or in preparation for the TFH Instructor Workshop.
