Acupuncture at Dreamclinic with Timothy = AWESOME!
Thursday, October 29, 2009
WOW! I came in for an acupuncture session with Timothy last week, and it was absolutely amazing. I am actually very terrified of needles but thought I'd give it a chance. I am SO glad I did! Tim was incredibly soothing and talked me through the entire session. There was not a single point where I felt any discomfort or pain. He let me know what he was doing and consistently checked on how I was doing with each needle. When he put the first needle in my knee, I didn't feel the needle itself, but the lower half of my leg had this wonderful tingly sensation (almost tickly but better) and it felt heavy and warm. From there, it just kept getting better and better. He used this thing called a moxy (spelling?) stick which looks like a fat black cigar with a burning ember on the end, and it just made my knee feel like it was radiating warmth. He also worked in a little bit of massage and some cupping (by the way, cupping is the coolest feeling I have ever had).
Overall, the experience was absolutely the best. I walked out to my car feeling like skipping or jumping! I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for some pain relief or hoping to de-stress.
Pros: Really gentle, soothing, relaxing, and inexpensive!
Cons: None!
