Before your first visit

Are you ready to book your first appointment? Great. Here are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind to make your experience go as smoothly as possible:

• Have a snack first. Going on an empty stomach can cause you to become lightheaded or dizzy.
• Wear loose-fitting clothes. Your health practitioner may have you change into a robe, or he or she may be able to access the necessary points by rolling up your pant legs or sleeves. Make it easy on them by wearing loose-fitting clothing.
• This will be more than a one-time thing. Expect your health practioner to recommend repeat visits. The effects of therapy build over time, even if you feel relief after the first visit.
