Our skin is our largest sensory organ and rapidly delivers an array of sensory information to the central nervous system.
How we touch and interact with our clients and patients may be even more important than the techniques we use. By deepening our ability to engage in touch and improving the quality of our touch, we can elicit better responses from our clients and patients.
Tom has stated that, “Touch is a connection and communication between intelligent biological life forms”. How we touch, how we are, and how we engage are vital elements for those of us working with the human body. Learning the secrets of the art of touch from Tom Myers is an unparalleled opportunity.
