The Centre for Complementary Care, Eskdale, Cumbria, United Kingdom, has a reputation for improving the health and quality of life of its patients1,2 through healing by gentle touch3 and receives many referrals from health professionals in an area of rural and urban social deprivation, poor health, high unemployment, and poverty. Healing is used alone or in addition to medical or other treatment modalities. In 1996, a North Cumbria Health Authority study of 110 patients with various ailments4 showed that healing at The Centre for Complementary Care was associated with improved physical and psychological functioning. Data collection continued, and records from 76 patients with musculoskeletal disorders have now been analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of healing in this patient group
