The First
Treatment
After you arrive you will
be asked to fill out a short health history. These questions are to help
your practitioner evaluate your
presenting patterns based upon your symptoms. This “pattern
of disharmony” is in large measure what makes traditional Chinese/Asian Medicine
so effective.
In a private room you will review the history one-on-one with the
treating Practitioner. After further evaluation the Practitioner will
explain the treatment strategy. Then your Practitioner will wash their
hands and begin your treatment.
