Acupuncture Jules Burrell - accupressure, massage with Jules Burrell: What Happens?

The initial consultation and short treatment lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. I will ask you about your current symptoms, what treatment you have received, your medical history, your diet, digestive system, sleeping patterns and emotional state. If you are seeking treatment for a physical and muscular condition, I may conduct a brief physical examination. I will also feel your pulses on both wrists and look at your tongue. You will have the opportunity to ask me questions and to decide whether you want treatment. If you wish to proceed, I insert very fine needles into the body. The acupuncture points used are not always close to the part of the body where you experience the problem. For example, although you might suffer from headaches, needles may be inserted in your foot or hand. The needles are kept in for about 20 minutes, whilst you relax. I then remove the needles and the treatment is concluded.

You may need to undress, keeping your underwear on, depending on which areas of your body I will be treating. I will leave you to undress in private and give you towels to cover your body. I will remove towels during treatment only to gain access to the area I am needling. You are welcome to have someone with you throughput your consultation and treatment. All consultations are completely confidential.

Frequency and length of treatment depends on your individual condition. Some change is usually felt after five treatments, although occasionally only one or two treatments are required. Follow up treatments usually last 45mins.
