On Arrival
Please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. This gives you an opportunity to take a seat in the waiting area, use the bathroom (on the left as you enter the building).
Remember to turn your phone to silent. Your donation can be placed into an envelope provided on entrance desk, please write your name in pencil on the outside and bring it into the treatment area with you when you are called through.
Required Forms
Please print and complete the Consultation Form and Covid-19 declaration prior to arrival. Links to download these forms are below. If you don’t have access to a printer there are copies in the waiting area, so allow an extra 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to fill these in.
Things to Remember
Please wear loose fitting clothing. Acupuncture points between wrists and elbows, ankles to knees and the abdomen are frequently used, easy access to these areas is helpful.
Avoid a large meal for an hour before and after treatment. Alcohol should be avoided for a 12-hour window either side of the session.
The Treatment Session
The communal treatment space can accommodate up to four patients. Once you have discussed the treatment with your practitioner and the needles are in, you will be given time to relax whilst the practitioner treats the next patient.
Throughout the session you will have your pulses taken as this gives vital, diagnostic information to the practitioner.
Appointment Booking & Cancellation
You are able to book your treatment times up to four weeks in advance and the booking forms are available in the waiting area to put your name down.
Bookings can also be made by calling 07866958458
or email enquiries@totnescommunityacupuncture.com
In order for the clinic to remain financially viable cancellation within 48 hours of the appointment time will require a £20 charge as it is unlikely that the clinic will be able to rebook the session.
