The Miracle Touch by Debra Fulghum Bruce and Dolores Krieger
Just a decade ago, massage and other alternative touch therapies were placed in the same category as pedicures and facials: indulgent pampering treatments, but hardly serious medicine. Today, interest in touch therapy has skyrocketed, and now doctors (and even HMOs) are embracing these treatments as not only beneficial in reducing stress, but also in managing addictions, speeding post-surgery recovery and ending chronic pain.
But while the demand for touch therapy has increased, so have the choices. Miracle Touch is a sensible guide that demystifies the wide array of therapies. For every method that’s spotlighted — from massage to magnet therepy — here are answers to common and important questions including: What is it? How does it work?
