ALL ABOUT THE IN'S AND OUT'S
(Please refer to this guide if you are new.)
​
​
WHAT TO EXPECT
​
Treatment sessions are a very fluid process. Initially, I ask a series of questions. These questions are not only about your current problem, but also about digestion, daily habits, sleep patterns, reproductive functions, and so on. I ask these questions to get a mental picture of you as a patient and as a whole and to deduce the locations of imbalances. Based on the findings, I go about correcting the imbalance and address your main issues (e.g., pain, digestive problems).
​
My treatments include massage, guasha, cupping and acupuncture. In conversing with my first-time patients, I have discovered that many are curious to know what exactly acupuncturists do in the clinic, but that they are too shy to ask before the treatment. Fortunately, a lot of them feel relieved once they come to the clinic and discover that it is a pleasant experience.

​
CLOTHING​
You are welcome to come as you are. Clean patient gowns (shirt & shorts) are available at the clinic to change into if needed.
​
POST TREATMENT
​
Please let your body rest and recover after treatment
Refrain from strenuous exercise and heavy alcohol drinking
the day of your treatment as blood flow improved.
By getting more than 7 hours of sleep, the body's natural healing ability increases
and the therapeutic effect from the treatment enhances.
​
​
​
​​IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL SLEEPY AFTER TREATMENT.
​
You may feel temporarily drowsy after treatment. This is called a "Positive Reaction" and occurs when the treatment improves blood flow and any stagnation and waste products that have been stuck and accumulating deep in the tissues are discharged outwards and forced into the blood stream which can make you feel sleepy. Once you have a good night's rest, these waste products in the blood are excreted from the body you will feel lighter than you felt before your treatment.
If you experience a positive reaction, rest your body and ensure that you are well hydrated.
Long term chronic conditions, or those who have received our treatment for the first time (or in a long time) often experience this reaction.
​
​
​
​​TREATMENT DURATION & NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
​
​Treatments are around 1 hour. The number of treatments will depend on the severity of your symptoms. If you have chronic pain, frequent visits in shorter intervals is usually more effective for the first few visits. Once you observe your pain condition improving, less frequent visits are needed.
