Your initial visit is a full health assessment that takes 60 minutes. Prior to your initial appointment, you will be asked to complete an Intake and Consent for Treatment Form. During the course of the visit, you will have an extensive discussion related to your primary health concerns and your health in general.

A typical acupuncture session is normally between 30 and 45 minutes.

You will have the opportunity to relax while listening to quiet music during your session. Be sure to eat a light meal beforehand so you do not feel dizzy after an acupuncture session.

Becoming Our Massage Therapy Patient

First Visit

Help Us To Know You Better

On your first visit, you will be asked to complete a consent form and a confidential medical history, which will help your therapist form your assessment and treatment plan.

Massage Therapy Treatments

Massage Therapy is a safe and comfortable partnership between you and your therapist, who will help you understand the processes behind your pain or discomfort, and how you can work together to alleviate it.

You will be asked to undress to the level of your own comfort. Massage Therapists are required to drape you with a sheet so that only the area of the body being worked on is exposed. Always be aware that you are in control of your treatment, so if there is something you are uncomfortable with, talk to your therapist and they will modify or discontinue the treatment as per your request.

After the massage, your therapist may recommend a treatment plan consisting of how often you should be having treatment and exercises you may need to do between treatments to assist your recovery. It is always recommended to drink more water than usual post-massage as massage therapy releases many toxins in the body and they need to be flushed out to avoid any sickness or headache.
