Helpful overview of the touch modalities ranging from reiki, aromatherapy, therapeutic touch, feldenkrais, shiatsu, acupressure, acupuncture, traditional chinese medicine to alexander technique, osteopathy, chiropractic, ayurvedic, biofeedback, faith healing, EDR, ESM EMG ESP etc etc etc! Gives an overview of each, discusses what conditions each is used for. A good introduction to hands on therapies. Would score 3 if I had no knowledge of these things, but only 2 for me as I am familiar with the concepts.
