Advice before a treatment

[mJc]

Hi

I know that we all give clients aftercare advice following a treatment but does anyone give a client pre treatment advice when they ring up to make an appointment and if so what sort of advice do you give? For example how long before treatment should clients not eat large meals and for how many hours before treatment should they not consume alcohol etc?

Thanks

Hi Sass,

I usually advise my clients to not eat a big meal about an hour or so before the treatment. I also ask them to drink plenty of water (which they should be doing anyway).

Apart from that, there is not really much else i advise. IMO aftercare advice is much more important.

Hope this helps.

Agree re timing of meals as pre-treatment guidance; also that post-treatment guidance is important though i'd be of opinion most therapists are well acquainted with the latter via their training and experience
