Which category of therapies includes methods that work with energy fields surrounding the body to promote healing?

• A. Massage, tissue manipulation.
• B. Energy Therapies, working with energy fields around the body.
• C. Chiropractic, spinal adjustments.
• D. Herbal Medicine, using plants.

Answer: (B)

Energy therapies concentrate on energy fields that surround and interact with the body, with the aim of balancing or guiding that energy to support healing. Techniques like Reiki and therapeutic touch operate on the belief that clear or balanced energy flow can reduce symptoms and promote well-being, rather than relying on physical manipulation or chemical effects. This distinguishes them from other modalities: massage and tissue manipulation focus on changing the body's tissues directly; chiropractic care centers on spinal alignment and vertebral adjustments; herbal medicine uses plant-based substances to influence body systems.
