How to Prepare for Your First Treatment

To maximize the full benefits of your treatment, we usually advise our new patients on the following tips before attending your appointment at Symmetry BodyMind Wellness.

Please complete pre-appointment questionnaire & consent forms

Providing us with your history and information about your current state of health will help our practitioners prepare and allow us to get to the bottom of things quicker. That means more time on the table getting treatments. Please complete your consent form as well. We cannot begin the treatment until that has been completed.

Allocate time & limit strenuous activities

if you are able, make sure that you are not engaging in strenuous or stressful activities after your session. Have enough rest before your appointment. Moreover, you also need to get relaxed after your appointment.

Drink plenty of water

To make the most of your acupuncture treatment, make sure to drink plenty of water before the appointment. Moreover, it is also essential to drink plenty of water after the treatment to help the body to flush out the toxins.

Wear loose clothing or something comfortable

For your comfort, it is advisable to wear loose but yet comfortable clothing. So, don’t forget to wear something loose and comfy.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol

Another thing that you need to avoid is drinking caffeinated products and alcohol. Make sure not to drink a coffee or alcohol twelve hours prior to your appointment. This is because coffee is a stimulant and can lead to restlessness.

Moreover, drinking coffee and alcohol can lessen the desirable effects on your treatment. If you are coffee, just avoid it for a while, and just remember this is for the benefit of your body.
