  Therapeutic Modalities: Mental Health Through Integrated Awareness of Body Sensations | Institute for Somat Awareness
Therapeutic modalities differ significantly in their relationship with BB scores; preliminary investigation suggests that seven specific components may contribute to this relationship of therapeutic modality with BB style.
What has not been shown is whether therapeutic modalities induce change in the BB direction, or whether those who score high on BB simply tend to choose, and attach greater importance to their experiences in, certain modalities—and no direct proof of the direction of the causality is available at this juncture.
These other modalities could be the responsible psychotherapist’s answer to the demands of managed care: a treatment plan that includes low-cost group modalities such as tai-chi, meditation or dance therapy to provide the BB impetus; the psychotherapist to help and guide the patient to deeper levels and to effective emotional and behavioral change.

 Therapeutic Modalities
A: Energy work comes in many forms or modalities, all sharing the common goal of affecting the flow of vital energy (Chi or Qi) to produce balance intrinsically (within) and extrinsically (in relation to the surrounding world).
Therapeutic Touch sessions generally involve little or no physical contact; the technique is intended to affect the vibrational field or aura that is generated by and surrounds the body.
They innately understand this energy, and are both receptive and responsive to energy work modalities, often positioning themselves to present the areas needing balancing once they understand the intent of the practitioner.
