Ruth Duncan's In Touch Education Blog

Touch shapes perception and expectation, not just tissues, influencing how people experience, interpret and respond to care.

The value of touch therapy is not only in what it does to tissues but in how it helps our clients feel safe, supported and understood. Through skill, experience and training, we use touch as part of a wider therapeutic encounter. This blog invites you to reflect on your current practice and teaching, and to strengthen an evidence informed approach that supports better care and professional longevity.
