What To Expect During And After Your Treatment

You may wonder what you can expect from your first treatment. Just as our treatments are completely different for each person, so are the responses that people experience. Some people may actually feel worse the day after a treatment. This is not a bad thing, as the body has to play catch up and adjust to feeling normal again. Just as your body had to get used to being out of balance, it will need time to get used to feeling back in balance. This may give you the impression that your condition is getting worse when it is actually the body starting to repair itself. If you have had a condition for many years, the body has to start to repair and restructure itself for a healing process, which does take time.

The treatments work on many levels and emotional issues can surface during or even after treatment. Physical problems can be caused by repressed emotional issues. If emotions arise, this is a good thing as it is important to release any emotions that may have been stored up for long periods, causing your current problem. Some people may want to have a good old cry while others may just giggle in relief. Never be afraid to show any of these emotions, they are better out than in.

Our aim is for everyone to feel fantastic after a treatment, some may only feel this for a short period, and others don’t feel anything until some time after the treatment. In any case if you are concerned about anything please do not hesitate to ask first.

What You May Experience After A Treatment

Headaches
Tight muscles can restrict nerve and blood supply to the body and on being released, can cause a blood rush to the head. Chronic accumulated toxins can be released back into circulation and until the body is strong enough to excrete them can cause headaches.

Aches and Pains
While acupuncture is very gentle and will not generally cause soreness, most muscle soreness will only last a day or so. Please continue to stretch and keep good posture.

Treatment Duration
The duration of treatments can very, due to individual circumstances such as severity of injury, disease type, length of illness and over all wellbeing. Treatment recommendations are discussed at the initial consultation and consultations can last for an hour.
