You can book your first appointment!
What to expect:
When you arrive at Phoenix, you’ll be greeted by our friendly Reception team
Your acupuncturist will come to you and take you to your room (this will have 2 or 3 beds set up in it)
They will ask you a few questions to help understand what you’d like from the treatment
Acupuncture is a targeted treatment, so you will only need to remove clothing in the area being treated. The acupuncturist will advise on this
Privacy screens are available should you like to have one
The acupuncturist will carry out the treatment and then leave you for a little while to let the treatment run it’s course. Often people drift off at this point, it is very calming
They will then come back in the room to remove the needles and bring you water. Again, privacy screens are available should you need to re-dress
They will share after-care tips tailored to you
