About Kinesiology

Touch for Health (TFH) Kinesiology stands out by offering a groundbreaking, practical tool rooted in neuroscience: Accurate Muscle Response Feedback (originally known as muscle testing/monitoring).

Unlike many therapies that rely solely on a practitioner’s knowledge, intuition, or experience, TFH works with the body’s own responses to pinpoint stress and imbalances — restoring harmony and supporting healing from within. It can have a powerful effect on both muscular function and emotional wellbeing, helping to release tension, improve posture, and bring balance to body and mind.

Touch for Health (TFH) was created by Dr. John Thie as a simple yet powerful approach for maintaining and improving wellbeing. Drawing from the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine and modern health practices, TFH blends gentle acupressure, energy‑balancing techniques, meridian work, nutritional awareness, and mind–body methods — giving people practical tools they can use daily to take an active role in their health.

Since its introduction in the early 1970s through Dr. Thie’s pioneering book, TFH has spread to more than 60 countries and is now one of the most widely taught systems of Energy Kinesiology, supported by a global community of trained practitioners and instructors.

At the heart of TFH is Accurate Muscle Response Feedback — a gentle muscle testing method that taps into the body’s communication system. This helps identify areas of stress or imbalance that may be affecting physical, emotional, or mental wellbeing. TFH can have a significant impact on the muscular system, restoring postural balance and enhancing performance, while also calming emotional stress and improving resilience.

The toolbox used may involve holding acupressure points, balancing meridians, offering nutritional support, or releasing emotional tension. These simple techniques help restore the body’s natural energy flow, promoting self‑healing and long‑term wellbeing.

Because TFH is accessible to everyone, it’s equally valuable for self‑care or as a professional complementary therapy. It can boost vitality, ease muscular tension, improve physical performance, and prevent small imbalances from becoming bigger problems.

With its unique blend of Eastern and Western approaches, TFH offers a practical path to whole‑body wellness — empowering you to live in harmony with yourself and the world around you.
