The M Technique® for dementia

Abstract

Touch is one of the fundamental ways that we communicate and relate to people, particularly those who are closest to us. Yet sadly, many people, especially those who are old and have lost loved ones, may go for years without feeling the touch of another person. Started in the US, the M Technique® is being used in a variety of care settings to calm, soothe and reassure patients. Jane Buckle explains how it works and the benefits it gives to people with dementia.
