TTouch for You is a system of gentle circular TTouches that works at the cellular level to activate the body’s potential. Linda Tellington-Jones, PhD (Hon) created the Tellington TTouch in 1983 for the training and care of horses and other animals. While learning TTouch for their animals, horse and pet owners practiced these techniques on each other to better understand what their animals were experiencing. Eventually, the effectiveness of the TTouch for people became apparent. Over time, people of all ages realized a newfound sense of well-being and renewal using TTouch for You. They also got relief from everyday physical and emotional issues such as headaches, backache, neck pain, depression, and sensitivity to touch.
As a result, TTouch for You is gaining acceptance in the human healthcare system. Nurses, massage therapists, physical therapists, physicians and occupational therapists are successfully integrating these techniques into their practices. For example, nurses use TTouch for post-fracture swelling, labour pain, wound care, and the management of edema, pain and anxiety. Massage Therapists and Physical Therapists find TTouch effective in cases of chronic pain and Fibromyalgia. Furthermore, in addition to the clinical applications, many healthcare professionals experience much-needed relaxation and stress relief for themselves.
Meanwhile, outside the clinical setting, teachers are using these techniques in the classroom to address behavioural issues and to facilitate problem-solving and positive growth and development in their students.
In your personal life, TTouch for You can be a means to enhance relationships beyond the constraints of language. For instance, parents are finding new channels to connect with their children. Spouses are deepening their relationships and discovering new ways to nurture one another in a non-sexual context. Friends come to new levels of understanding and appreciation. Thus, TTouch is a powerful tool to enrich all your interpersonal relationships.
TTouch for You is easy to learn, requires no special equipment and it works! In fact, we published several easy-to-use “how-to” books to help you learn in the comfort of your own home, or learn with Linda herself at her home in Hawaii during her annual “TTouch for You” workshop every January.
Moreover, over the past 20 years, hundreds of cases have shown TTouch for You to be a simple and effective means to relieve a vast range of common and uncommon health issues — from a simple headache to a life-threatening emergency. We have also gathered a rich legacy of anecdotal evidence to support the effectiveness of TTouch to enhance personal wellness and quality of life. TTouch for You … Re-member your perfection.
Here are comments from people who have experienced the benefits of Tellington TTouch for You:
“I have dozens of self-improvement tapes. I am a hypnotist. Doing the TTouch on animals and friends, I can notice the most obvious change in me. I’m more approachable. I am more willing to touch people, I am more confident about my life. I also am taking more chances. TTouch is basic to people’s happiness and health, but fear has prevented me from accepting or eliciting it with people around me. I am positive that the TTouches are making a transformation in my life and those around me.” Jean F
“Aside from the remarkable changes in my ‘TTEAMed’ animals since I started doing the work on them, I’ve hooked some human animals by doing Tellington TTouch at work. We generally work 14-hour days shooting for TV and people get quite stressed and tired. Facial work and lifts on the head plus shoulders, and neck bring pie-eyed results. I feel like my head was going to float off and immensely help relieve the brain exhaustion we experience sometimes. I’ve helped pregnant friends and injured people too.” Karen C
Background of Tellington TTouch
In 1978, Linda Tellington-Jones completed a four-summer professional training taught by Israeli physicist, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, at the Humanistic Psychology Institute of San Francisco. Before this, she co-authored a book titled, Massage and Physical Therapy for the Athletic Horse. Drawing from her grandfather, William Caywood’s teachings. For 10 years, she applied this equine massage for sport horses when she adapted the Feldenkrais Method for humans to work with horses and other animals.
Subsequently, until 1983, she practiced the Feldenkrais work for humans and other animals. That year, Tellington TTouch was born, and her interest in working at the cellular level began to unfold. Her methods were greatly influenced by the findings and philosophy of Sir Charles Sherrington. He’s known as one of the fathers of neurophysiology, and winner of the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. The philosophy stated in Sherrington’s book Man on His Nature, that “every cell in the body knows its function in the body…and its function in the universe” was an inspirational cornerstone for the development of Tellington TTouch.
Linda’s intuitive approach and trust in divine guidance further shaped the TTouch method: That each of us has the potential to “Remember our perfection”.
