Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during Acupuncture & Massage?
Your session begins with a discussion about the areas you would like treated.
Massage and bodywork may be used to work through muscular tension, with acupuncture incorporated into the treatment where appropriate.
The exact combination is personalised rather than following a fixed routine.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture uses very fine needles, and individual sensations vary. Some people feel very little during insertion, while others may notice a brief sensation, heaviness, tingling or dull ache around the treatment area.
If you experience discomfort, you should tell the therapist so the treatment can be adjusted.
Do I have to have both acupuncture and massage?
This service is specifically designed as a combined Acupuncture & Massage treatment.
However, the amount of time spent on each technique will depend on your individual needs.
If you are unsure whether acupuncture is appropriate for you, please contact the therapist before booking.
How many areas can be treated?
As a general guide:
30 Minutes — One Region
For one focused treatment area.
60 Minutes — Two Regions
For up to two areas requiring attention.
90 Minutes — Multiple Regions
For more comprehensive treatment across several areas.
The amount that can reasonably be treated will also depend on your individual presentation.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. Access will be required to the area being treated, and appropriate draping will be used where necessary.
Is acupuncture suitable for everyone?
Not necessarily. Your suitability should be considered before treatment, particularly if you have relevant medical conditions, take certain medications, have a bleeding disorder, use blood-thinning medication, or have other circumstances that may affect treatment.
Please provide relevant medical and medication information when booking and discuss any concerns with the therapist before treatment.
