The application details the 42 test positions, images of each muscle, the path of the traditional Chinese medicine meridians, and the balancing exercises proposed by the Touch For Health method.
The photos and videos of the 42 muscle tests are available offline.
For each muscle, the application proposes the neurolymphatic and neuromuscular zones and the spinal reflexes.
The 14 meridians are described, with their tonify and sedation points.
The application presents the results of muscle tests and alarm points on the wheel of the 5 elements.
The application analyzes the results of the tests and proposes possible balancing by applying the laws proposed by the Touch For Health method.
At the end of the session, a report is generated and can be sent by email (no data is kept by the application)
Touch for health – animated reference, is an atlas of muscle tests, meridians, maps and techniques used by the Touch For Health method. The application presents clear and precise visuals to facilitate learning and encourage practice. In order to take full advantage of it, it is necessary to have been trained in the Touch For Health method.

The application makes learning easier, with clear visuals of the positions for each test, standing and lying down. You are also provided with descriptions of the origins and insertions of the muscles as well as the path of the meridians. All the content has been created exclusively for the needs of the application. This content has been verified by kinesiologists and is intended for kinesiologists.
The test positions are aligned with those taught by the official authorities. The images have been corrected in partnership with Matthew Thie and the entire application has been proofread by Xavier Meignen, responsible for the training of TFH instructors in France.
The application offers a simple form to use: enter the result of the pre-tests, the muscle tests and the test of the alarm points of each meridian. The result is displayed on the wheels and the possible corrections are shown (luo points, dams, law of triangles…). The practitioner then determines which corrections are relevant according to the context of the session.
The application allows you to keep track of the corrections made by exporting them by email. This operation guarantees that no data is kept by the application, while allowing to keep a history (anonymized) if necessary.
With the Touch For Health – Animated Reference application in your pocket, you can practice a session wherever you are.
The application has been designed to be used easily and independently (all the necessary content is in the application).
It was important for us that the application can be used in airplane mode: stop unnecessary waves!
The application is compatible on phone and tablet, Android and iPhone, to adapt to your use

Below is an extract of the comments & evaluations received
The application is easy to use, and it’s good to have the metaphors. Muscle details are well explained.
I tested the application in a session this morning.
It was very fluid and I felt very comfortable with the tool.
It’s all in the app, which makes me feel more relaxed, especially with the wheels and the right choice of corrections to make.
Like many others, I was a little apprehensive about touching the wheels because of the laws of the road.
Now I’m fully reassured about the result and all I have to do is make the corrections.
The app is easy to read and well designed. A great idea to complement the session tools.
I found the application intuitive and the content clear and precise. It’s a good support in case of forgetfulness.
I recently used the Touch For Health app to help me carry out the Kinesiology protocol with my patients, and I have to say I was very pleased with the results. The app was very easy to use and allowed me to practice without having to use my time-consuming course binder. The feature I appreciated most in this application was the ability to track the progress of rebalancing over the time of the protocol. I could easily analyze my Kinesiology sessions, results and comments, which helped me see the improvements I’d made and stay motivated.

Find below a list of frequently asked questions:
Currently the application does not offer a trial version or a free version with in-app purchases. We first worked to offer a single, comprehensive support, so all the content of the application (including future updates) is included in the initial sales price. It’s subscription-free.
No data is collected by the application, not even your e-mail. Once installed, the application can work in -not connected- mode (this is important to us). The reports of your sessions are not kept by the application.
At launch, the application integrates French and English translations, by default the language used is that of the phone. You can also choose the language via the application’s settings page.
We are currently looking for bilingual kinesiologists to propose new languages (Spanish, Italian, German…). If you want to participate, please contact us via contact@tfh-aninmated.com.
The application purchased on the Appstore can be installed on all devices (phone, tablet…) on which your Apple account is configured. Same thing on Android, you will be able to install the application on all devices using the same Google Play account.
Now, if you use an Apple device and an Android device, you will have to buy the application on each platform.

The application was created to facilitate the learning and practice of Touch For Health. It can therefore be consulted from level 1, and will also contain the content of the higher levels.
The application is dedicated to the learning and practice of Touch For Health, it is not intended to be used without having followed the level 1 to 4 training of the method. In your case, if you are neither a kinesiologist nor in training, the application will not be useful to you.
The application offers, in digital format, useful information to practice a Touch For Health session. It is a support to facilitate the learning of test positions and a way to encourage the practice by always having the necessary information with you.
The digital support allows to bring the representation of the movements, as well as the propositions of laws and balances on the wheel.
The application is not a way to learn the Touch For Health method, this learning must go through a training with a dedicated organization. We assume that the users have followed the courses, or are in the process of training, so the application sometimes refers to the training materials received during the courses. It does not cover all the topics and notions covered in training (which would go beyond the scope of an application, or make it too complex).
In the same way, the excesses and weaknesses are reported on the wheels (time and five elements) but it is up to the user to choose which balancing to apply according to the context of the session.
We have tried to find a balance between :
– the concepts covered in training
– the information necessary for practice
-and the freedom of choice left to the user to perform the balancing.
The app has been developed to align with the test positions taught by the official college.. Be aware that, at its launch, the application has not yet been validated by them as teaching material. The application was proofread and corrected by Xavier Meignen – TFH Instructor, and was developed in partnership with Matthew Thie who corrected the test positions and authorizes the use of the name “Touch For Health” for the application.
All the visuals of the application have been developed by the studio Tergimax based in Toulouse. This company makes 3D models from photos or descriptions with the possibility to parameterize almost everything. To contact them : www.tergimax.com
It would have probably taken less time, but we want to offer the clearest visuals possible in the application, and the realization of professional photos requires important logistics to obtain a satisfactory result.
The 3D models also allow us to make as many corrections and adjustments as necessary without losing the graphic consistency. Finally, we wish to develop the application on the long term, to add functionalities, and working with real photos, in addition to the right to the image, implies to commit ourselves with models available at each update.
For all these reasons, we have realized nearly 8000 images used for the photos and videos of the application.
When the application is used on Apple equipment, exporting session reports by e-mail requires the Apple ‘Mail’ application to be installed and configured with an e-mail account. If you notice that nothing happens when you request an export by e-mail, please consult this page: troubleshooting
