Recommendations after your treatment (acupuncture and massage)

We hope these tips can help to improve your comfort and enhance the effect of your treatment after your visit to our clinic. As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact our clinic and practitioners.

1. Immediately after treatment you may feel tired or very relaxed or perhaps a little dizziness. This is normal. We suggest you have a short break (10 minutes) in the clinic rather than leaving immediately after your treatment.

You feel tired because during the treatment your points and channels are stimulated and your circulation is flowing all the time to certain areas according to your tailored treatment.

2. We recommend having a glass of warm water after your treatment. During your treatment, your body’s fluid is used and a little added warm water can restore your body’s fluid and will also help your body eliminate toxins stirred by the treatment.

3. If your treatment is on a cold or windy day, we suggest you rug up and keep your body in a nice warm condition. Certain formulas of treatment may open your pores in order to eliminate toxins via the skin.  This can leave you exposed to the external environment. Covering up and keeping warm helps prevent the body from being “attacked” by the wind or the cold.

For the same reason, we also recommend you avoid swimming or saunas for the remainder of the day. It is best not to shower within 2 hours after treatment.

4. We recommend avoiding other treatments for 1-2 days. Other treatments may interfere with the results of your treatment with us. Please discuss with your Ping Ming Health practitioner if you anticipate using another modality close to your treatment here.
