Therapeutic touch is a universally recognized science, invented for use since ancient Greek times. According to the records of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, he stated that “Doctors need to be skilled in many areas, especially in therapeutic touch massage.” The science of touch has been continuously developed to the present day, along with advances in modern medical technology that have the potential to treat patients, providing them with strong morale, resulting in rapid recovery from pain. The Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery Center at Phyathai Nawamin Hospital therefore applies the principles of the science of touch to every step of patient care. Our staff is ready to serve every patient case to the best of their ability.
The Power of Touch.. From Ancient Science to Treatment Combined with Medical Technology
The Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery Center at Phyathai Nawamin Hospital is confident that the morale and knowledge conveyed through touch combined with close patient care will allow us to best measure the patient’s pain level. This enables us to urgently plan treatment precisely for the patient’s suffering. Because each patient’s bone and joint pain symptoms differ, and their pain tolerance levels vary, we apply the “science of touch” to assess symptoms alongside highly effective medical innovations that impact the patient’s recovery from pain. This helps build the patient’s morale and readiness to move toward the treatment goal: rapid recovery until the pain is gone.
The More You Touch with Heart, the More You Understand the Patient Holistically
The Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery Center at Phyathai Nawamin Hospital places great importance on continuous staff development in knowledge and practical skills for patient care. Our experienced professional nursing team has all undergone specialized training courses to be ready to serve patients at all times with a service-minded heart. Every touch in patient care is given attention to every detail of the feelings received, so patients feel warm and comfortable when exchanging close conversations with us. Our goodwill and treatment potential will be fully extended to the patients through the “gentle science of touch.”
Healthy Body, Peace of Mind with the Science of Touch
We care for every patient case with gentleness. Every touch through the body and words helps reduce anxiety for patients and their families. The patient’s relaxation and peace of mind are as important as a strong body. Touching patients while talking together not only improves the nervous and muscular systems but also fosters closeness and friendship between patients and us.
