a form of energy healing

Reiki, a form of energy healing, can be a beneficial adjunct to physical therapy by promoting relaxation and reducing stress, which are crucial for effective rehabilitation. Practitioners of Reiki use gentle touch or place their hands near the body to channel energy, aiming to balance the body's energy systems and enhance overall well-being. Integrating Reiki into a physical therapy regimen can help alleviate pain and muscle tension, complementing traditional treatments by fostering a more relaxed state, which may improve the patient’s responsiveness to physical exercises and therapies.
