I understand that all treatments at Aloe Wimberley are therapeutic in nature. I agree to communicate to the therapist any physical discomfort or draping issues during the session.
-
Information has been provided to me about Cupping Therapy. If I chose to experience these therapies during treatment, I understand the potential effects and after-care recommendations.
-
It has been explained to me that there are contraindications for Cupping Therapy. I have fully disclosed all health factors to my therapist, including those not mentioned on my health history intake form, to avoid any complications.
-
It has been explained to me that there is the possibility of discolorations that can occur from the release and clearing of stagnation and waste materials from my body.
-
I also understand that this reaction is not bruising, but due to cellular debris, pathogenic factors, and waste material being drawn to the surface to be cleared away by my circulatory system.
-
I further understand that the discolorations will dissipate from a few hours to as long as 2 weeks in some cases, and in relation to my after-care activities.
-
I understand that the first time I experience Cupping, my body’s immune system can temporarily react to this release as it might with the flu - producing flu-like effects such as nausea, headache, aches, etc., that will subside in time with rest and water. Water helps to dilute the intensity of the release.
-
I also understand that emotional releases may occur following Cupping Therapy.
-
I understand that Cupping Therapy modalities should not be combined with aggressive exfoliation, 4 hours after shaving or waxing, after sunburn, or when I’m hungry or thirsty.
-
I understand that I should avoid exposure to cold, wet, and/or windy weather conditions, hot showers, baths, saunans, hot tubs, and aggressive exercise for 4-6 hours. I understand that exposure to such extremes can produce undesirable effects and I should avoid such situations.
-
I understand that I should avoid caffeine, alcohol, sugary foods and drinks, dairy and processed meats, and that I should consume an abundance of clean water.
