Nov 24, 2025The Power of Touch Therapy in Massage & Bodywork Is A Basic Human Need
The Power Of Touch is not, of course, exclusive to massage therapists. It is a basic human need existing within each of us. All human beings would be well-advised to learn about, understand, and incorporate (non-sexual) touch therapy in their interactions with their close family and even friends.
Many people, whether conscious of it or not, are touch deprived. Any kind of human physical contact can be beneficial. This is especially true of infants. It has been shown that their development is significantly improved if they experience more physical touch.
