Energy therapy is a branch of complementary therapy. A wide range of treatments exist under the umbrella term of 'complementary therapy'. Each treatment has its own unique theory and practice.

Historically, modern medicine evolved out of an assumption that the mind and body are separate. Disease and illness were viewed as mechanical breakdowns and, generally, it was these breakdowns and the symptoms they caused that were treated. Complementary therapies aim to treat the entire person, not just the symptoms.
