Post Treatment Advice

Here are a few tips that we suggest to enhance the effect of our treatment:

 

  • It is normal to feel a little tired, very relaxed or energised after a treatment.
     

  • Some people can feel a little light-headed after a session.  This is normal and related to the release of endorphins during treatment.  We suggest having a light snack and rest post-treatment in this case.
     

  • Drink at least 2-3 glasses of water following an Acupuncture session to assist any toxins to be flushed out of the body.
     

  • Sometimes small bruises, lumps or pain may occur after treatment.  This is an indication of stagnation and blockages in the body moving and clearing.  They will usually resolve within a few days.
     

  • We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise and alcohol post-treatment as your body is rebalancing and adjusting to the changes.
     

  • Try to remember or take notes of how you responded to treatment.  This is important for us to know so that follow-up treatments can be designed to best assist you.
