The M Technique is a registered method of gentle structured touch suitable for anyone, following a choreographed sequence of strokes, at a set pace and set pressure. The author explains how the M Technique, started in the United States and now used in approximately 40 hospitals in the United States and 20 hospices in the United Kingdom, is being used in a variety of care settings to calm, soothe and reassure patients, and the benefits it gives to people with dementia.
