Preparing for Your Appointment
Your comfort is important to us. Depending on the treatment you receive, we may need access to certain areas of your body. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.
Please, do not use perfumes for the health of all patients.
Acupuncture & SCENAR Therapy
Both acupuncture and SCENAR therapy require direct access to the skin. Depending on the areas being treated, we may need access to areas such as the spine, shoulder blades and knees.
For your comfort and convenience, we recommend wearing underwear, a swimsuit or comfortable gym wear. Alternatively, loose-fitting shorts and a singlet are ideal.
A note about bras: For SCENAR therapy, we recommend avoiding sports bras (cross-back sport bra) as they are often too tight and can restrict access to the spine and surrounding areas. A loose-fitting bra is preferable.
Depending on the areas being treated, you may be asked to remove or adjust some clothing. Towels or sheets will be used to cover you, ensuring that only the area being treated is exposed. Your comfort, privacy and modesty will always be respected.
We provide warm, comfortable blankets and treatment garments, including tops with sleeves and shorts, if needed, to help you feel relaxed, comfortable and appropriately covered throughout your session.
A note about clothing: For all treatments, we recommend avoiding jeans or other thick, restrictive clothing, as they can make it difficult to assess tissues through palpation and perform effective hands-on techniques. Comfortable, flexible clothing is preferable.
Osteopathy
For osteopathic treatments, loose-fitting trousers or shorts and a singlet are generally suitable.
Acupuncture may also be incorporated into your session to complement and enhance your osteopathic treatment. In this case, access to the skin may be necessary.
Kinesiology
For kinesiology sessions, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy movement. As muscle testing often involves moving and testing the legs, trousers or shorts are preferable to skirts or dresses.
Pilates
For Pilates sessions, wear comfortable, stretchy clothing, such as leggings or shorts, that allows you to move freely. Avoid belts and overly loose or baggy clothing, as more fitted clothing helps me observe your posture, alignment and leg movements to guide you safely and effectively.
Qigong
For Qigong, wear comfortable, warm, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely and breathe naturally. Avoid belts or anything tight around your waist.
Your Comfort Comes First
We understand that everyone has different needs and preferences. If you have any questions or concerns about clothing, privacy or comfort during your treatment, please don't hesitate to talk to us.
We will be happy to find a solution that allows you to feel comfortable, respected and at ease throughout your session.
Preparation for your SCENAR treatment
- Be well hydrated before attending SCENAR sessions.
- Do not bathe / wash for two hours prior to, or two hours after treatment.
- Do not apply lotions or cream to their skin on the day of the treatment (including topical analgesics).
- It is preferable that self-prescribed medications, especially pain relief, are avoided before treatment.
- It is preferable that women do not apply make up before treatment.
- Please, bring a hair tie for long hair.
- Magnetic and electrical items should be removed from the body before treatment.
Please Arrive on Time
We kindly ask you to arrive on time for your appointment so you can make the most of your treatment session.
We understand that unexpected circumstances can sometimes cause delays. However, out of respect for our next clients and their scheduled appointments, we always aim to finish each session on time.
If you arrive late, unfortunately, we may not be able to extend your appointment, and your treatment time may need to be shortened accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
