Q7. What do I need to wear?
Created on: 10/17/2016; Modified on 10/17/2016; Answer: Wear loose clothing. Most of the needling is done on the limbs so wearing loose clothe will enable easier access to the limbs. Most cases you will not need to undress and in any case draping techniques will be used.

Q9. Does it hurt?
Created on: 10/17/2016; Modified on 10/17/2016; Answer: We expect no pain from the needling. Sometimes you may feel a little pinch as the needle goes in but after that there should be no pain. People have different levels of sensitivity and some may feel the needling more than others. There are different sensations that are considered normal from the needles such as tingling, a slight electric sensation, warmth spreading or just the presence of the needle. These are all normal sensations but not pain.
