What will happen at my first visit?

At the initial consultation, we will spend some time talking about your symptoms and gaining an overall picture of your health. One that is done, you will then lie down as I take your pulse at both wrists. Unlike Western pulse taking, what is measured is the quantity and quality of blood flow at each different pulse position (there are 12). This helps confirm where to place the needle as it gives information about how the energy is flowing through your body. A Japanese needle technique is then applied activating each point at a time and removing it immediately, so you won’t be left lying there with needles in your, although it might feel like it.   Most people find the treatment very relaxing.
