What To Expect
If this is your first visit with our doctors or therapists,
they will ask you some questions. They
need to make sure there aren’t any health conditions
present that rule out having treatment, discover what
your needs and expectations are, and determine what
techniques to use and how to structure the session.
Before the session begins, the doctor or therapist
may offer some advice that will improve the effectiveness
of your treatment.
Next you will be asked to remove your clothing. The
doctor or therapist will leave the room. You should
take off only as much as you are comfortable
removing. A sheet or towel is provided for draping
during your treatment. They will uncover only the
part of the body being treated, ensuring that your
modesty is respected at all times.
The treatment takes place on a padded
table. The doctor or therapist will tell you what
position to lie in on the table.
Expect a peaceful and comfrotable environment for
the treatment. The doctor or therapist may play
traditional Chinese music during the session. If you
don’t like music playing, just ask them to lower the volume
or turn the music off.
They may use oil, lotion, heat, sterile needles,
hot stones, and/or glass cups.
Depending on your needs, he or she will treat
either the full body or only specific areas that need
attention. If there is anything that does not feel
comfortable you have the right to ask them to stop.
After your first session is finished, your doctor or
therapist will sit down with you and make a treatment
plan and schedule you for future visits. The usual length
of the session is from 1 to 2 hours.

Enjoy the benefits of your treatment!
