About TFH
Energy and how it is used and replenished in the body is VITAL to health.
We use our body energy in 3 ways:
- Performing cellular functions (metabolism). How the body uses energy at the cellular level to body functions such as breathing, growing, blood circulation and healing.
- Using our brain (thinking). Our thoughts require energy. What we think also influences our energy!
- Performing muscular activity (movements and exercises). All physical activity consumes energy. In our body, we have the greatest/most control over our muscles. Using TFH gives you access to the system we use the most-OUR MUSCLES!
A lack of energy appears first as mild aches and pains in muscles. Negative attitudes also drain our strength making us feel weak or helpless. Over time, the depletion of energy places us at risk for serious health problems. With TFH you can check your body energy and improve it. Using TFH can help you feel better!
MUSCLE TESTING
Muscle testing allows us to observe and monitor energy changes or disturbances in response to input or stimuli. The receiver of the muscle test will report these differences as he/she feels the muscle react to a stimulus, which is represented by the pressure applied by the muscle tester.
Method for Testing
To establish awareness and permission before doing any physical touching, we ask, “Is it okay to touch you?” Confirm that you have mutual consent about what you will be doing in each step of the process. Check whether there is any physical or medical condition that should prohibit certain kinds of touching or movement.
Muscles have 2 operating modes:
- Weak or Low Energy causing the receiver to experience difficulty or pain holding the limb in place while minimal pressure is applied.
- Strong or Adequate Energy allowing the receiver to easily hold the limb in place while minimal pressure is applied.
The tester should consider him/herself the secondary partner in the relationship, assisting the receiver to become aware of him/herself. If the receiver experiences an improvement, the secondary partner should accept that improvement, whether or not the difference is noticed. Both partners may share what they feel when testing the muscle, but it is up to the secondary partner to decide whether to work the reflex and retest or to move on to the next muscle.
Either partner may stop the process at any time by saying “stop” or another agreed upon signal.
At any point during the test, particularly when you place a muscle in the test position, if there is pain or strain to hold the muscle in place say, “stop” and massage the reflex points. Be sure to breathe while the reflexes are being activated.
We will use 5 correction techniques:
- Spinal Reflexes. Rubbing up and down (vertically) on the vertebrae.
- NeuroLymphatics Points. Rubbing on the front and back of the body, in little circles like cleaning a window or polishing a car.
- NeuroVascular Points. Light touch using “eyeball” pressure for points on the head.
- Meridians. Tracing the meridian on the body.
- Origin and Insertion of muscles. “Jiggling” the beginning and end of the muscle.
Other Techniques and applications
Emotional Stress Release: When would you use it?
- When in a state of overwhelm
- When experiencing stress or anxiety
- To alleviate stress around fears and phobias
- To create a mental blueprint for peak performance before an activity
Using “eyeball” pressure, lightly touch the neurovascular points on the Frontal Eminences (2 forehead bumps). See what happens. Do this on yourself or with a partner.
Other applications will be included such as:
- Auricular (ear) exercise
- Visual inhibition
- Cross crawl for fun
- Surrogate testing
- Foods for Strengthening
- Posture awareness
- Simple pain techniques

TFH FACILITATOR
GEORGIO TRIMARCHI, D.O. (MP), RMT, CSMT(c), B.A., TFH
Georgio has been a dedicated student of holistic healing since 1990 and is the founder and president of Innergetics. Discovering answers to causes of ill health and utilizing methods that work have encouraged him to pursue alternative practices, and has lead him to the Elohim Energy Healing method. He is also a registered massage therapist in private practice since 1990, and concurrently works as an Osteopathic manual practitioner and a Touch For Health (TFH) practitioner and instructor. Georgio has taken many workshops and provides a unique vision on health. His Touch For Health training started in 1992 and has been part of his therapy modalities. In 2011, Georgio has taken further steps in becoming a TFH instructor. Georgio has worked with various sports teams (i.e., track & field, swimming, gymnastics, hockey) as a Certified Sports Massage Therapist (SMT(c)). He acted as an Executive on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Sports Massage Therapist Association for seven years (1990-1997) and helped to advance sports massage nationally. He is a member in good standing with the Registered Massage Therapists Association of Ontario (RMTAO), the Canadian Sports Massage Therapist Association (CSMTA), the College of Massage Therapy of Ontario (CMTO) and the Canadian Association of Specialized Kinesiology (CanAsk). With his Specialized Honors Physical Education Degree from York University and extensive knowledge in the health and wellness field, Georgio has developed expertise on optimizing performance levels and helping people lead a healthy, balanced life. His techniques involve Sports and Swedish massage, Suikodo (Shiatsu style), Osteopathy, Touch for Health, and Elohim Energy Healing Therapy. He is also a graduate from the Canadian College of Osteopathy. This has enabled Georgio to assess and treat patients efficiently and with accuracy in order to resolve problems. His sensitivity as a therapist works on various levels dealing with the physical (i.e., muscles, nerves, joints, scar tissue) to the emotional body (releasing restrictions and pain in the body rooting from negative emotions) and beyond. “Every patron is unique and requires a totality approach to discover the key that unlocks their full expression.”
Innergetics offers wellness clinics, health workshops, and educational and inspirational resources that build energy, awareness, and actions to help people reach their goals.
