Before

Come ready to kickback and relax and restore.  While life has us rushing most of the time, come in with the intention of slowing down, restoring and nourishing yourself.

Wear loose fitting clothing or bring a change of clothes.  While we love skinny jeans as a fashion be sure that they are stretchy to roll/rise above the knees.  If needed, we can provide appropriate draping.

Please have eaten a little something light within a few hours of your appointment.  It is best to not have acupuncture on a stomach that is too full or too empty. 

Limit your coffee and caffeine right before your session.  There is no reason you need to be “pepped up” to come to your acupuncture appointment.  You are here to rest and even sleep, so your body can heal.  

It is ok to come to acupuncture from your workout, bike, walk, yoga class, massage, chiropractic appointment, doctors appointment, dentist appointment, etc. For chronic longterm illness, acute immune issues it may not be the best to engage in heavy cardio activity shortly after your treatment.

If your are concerned about whether your activity before or after your treatment is compatible, contact us!
