Look, mom, no hands! I couldn\u2019t help myself here. Touchless therapy. It\u2019s a thing. And it\u2019s here to stay. I honestly hadn\u2019t heard of touchless wellness before my connection with the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort<\/a>, a pioneer in touchless therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, is a touch-free well-being experience as good as a hands-on version? Let\u2019s find out if touchless therapy is all it\u2019s cut out to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Touchless Wellness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps as literal as it sounds, touchless therapy is a wellness experience minus the touch. Traditionally, most spa or health services are hands-on with the service being provided from one healer to the receiver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of your traditional facial or back massage where the therapist employs his or her hands to work their magic. Through innovative technology, the wellness experience is now experienced through the use of a machine and technology only\u2014less the secondary person in attendance or needed to perform the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Touchless Therapy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may think, \u201cbut, if it\u2019s not hands-on, then what\u2019s the point of going to a spa to receive treatment?” I get it. I thought the same initially, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touchless therapy is actually not new. Reiki, vibrational sound healing and forest bathing (shinrin yoku) are all wellness modalities using contactless elements. These therapies have been around for decades, if not thousands of years. In fact, reiki is approximately 2,500 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s give this a second thought and understand how effective and beneficial touchless therapy can be to any receive. Because this technology is pretty incredible and very effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accommodate for social distancing practices, many destination spas introduced high-tech touchless therapy experiences to help guests feel more comfortable. Hence, when this trend became super popular over the past year or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-pandeminc, the technology driven, state-of-the-art machines are more effective than ever with the opportunity for those who want to continue to seek out treatment therapies in private, socially distanced, or something one can experience completely solo with a consistent form. No matter who\u2019s working the shift on a Monday afternoon at 2 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like getting your routine coffee at a chain coffee shop. You know what you\u2019re getting no matter what country or state you\u2019re in. The consistent form the machine offers is therapeutic in its own right\u2014removing the guesswork of who\u2019s doing your treatment and whether their service will match the last incredible experience you had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
