Ancient Future Medicine: Touch and Real-World Experiences in the Age of AI

As artificial intelligence and virtual technologies reshape healthcare and society, the value of real human connection, touch, and embodied experience is rapidly increasing. Drawing on decades of experience in integrative medicine, wellness research, hydrothermal therapies, and the global wellness industry, Dr Cohen explores why ancient wellness practices such as massage, bathing, heat and cold therapy, breathwork, fermentation, and human connection may become even more valuable in the future and why massage therapists and myotherapists may be uniquely positioned to thrive in an increasingly virtual world.
