How We Help
Hospital Therapy

Integrative Therapy in hospital settings can have a big impact on quality of life, and recovery.

Imagine what it feels like to be a kid too young to understand why scary, and painful, things are happening to them in the hospital. We improve their quality of life and health outcomes, meeting them where they are, in hospital, in pain, in fear, in stress… wherever they are, we get InTouch.

Our therapists help kids cope with painful medical treatments, chemotherapy, and long hospital stays.

The InTouch Effect

Maria, an 8-year-old waiting for an organ transplant, struggled with treatment-resistant pain and depression. After a series of Integrative Touch sessions with her hospital therapists, nurses were happy to see this young patient struggled less with pain, slept better, and smiled more often.

Pre and post session evaluations show 60% reduction in pain, 62% reductions in anxiety, and 52% improvements in global well-being. 85% of program participants rated their satisfaction as a perfect 10 out of 10.

Hospital Program and COVID-19

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Integrative Touch Hospital Program provided therapy and wellness education to hospitalized children (from premature babies to young adults in their 20’s) and their families at Banner Children’s Hospital in Tucson, Arizona. The Hospital program was suspended at the start of the pandemic. But our dedication to serving those who rely on us led Integrative Touch to create two new innovative telehealth programs – TeleWellness and TeleFriend. These programs allowed us to reach vulnerable children wherever they were in a safe, and effective manner. We also focused on serving medical professionals, parents, and anyone who was struggling with burnout, pain, trauma, or illness during unpredictable circumstances. We’re working to get back into the Hospital, but we’re now offering these programs and services out of our Healing Center.

Hospital Therapy Outcomes

Our Research and Evaluation Committee completed an evaluation study of the hospital program and found significant outcomes using validated and reliable measures.

We now offer these programs out of the Tucson based Integrative Touch Healing Center.
