YOUR APPOINTMENT
Acupuncture with Hannah has helped to balance most things in my body and life, helping me continue training hard with runners knee and preventing more injuries.
Hannah has been treating me, and my 88 year old father, for nearly two years and she is brilliant – professional, knowledgeable, friendly and she listens.
Your first appointment lasts for 1 ½ hours involving looking at your constitutional, emotional make-up and your strengths and weaknesses. You will be asked about your main complaints, and other any contributing factors that affect your health. Also you will be asked about any medication you are taking and treatments you are undergoing.
Thereafter treatments last ¾ hour, your treatment plan will then based around your individual’s needs, taking into consideration your general constitution, age, medical conditions and life circumstances.
Treatments start close together generally weekly appointments, progressing to longer intervals; each person is an individual so responds differently. Generally it is recommended that to start with you have at least six treatments close together.
The aim is to have regular treatment to maintain good health and wellbeing.
Five element acupuncture treatment consists of the insertion of very fine needles, either the needles stay in or manipulated for a split second to stimulate your vital energy – Qi. In some cases moxa a herb can be used to stimulate the Qi, this is burnt on the surface of skin or on a needle.
The assessment process is the same when coming for acupressure treatment, thereafter the treatment consists of finger pressure on the acupuncture points.
