What should I expect during an IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure session?
Initially, you will be sent an email with an intake form attached. All general information is explained in detail regarding wearing comfortable clothing, no heavy perfumes or jewelry, etc. You remain fully clothed during an acupressure session at all times. All medications should be taken at your regularly prescribed time before a session. No alcoholic beverages within 12 hours of a session. All hand positions are explained during the consultation period of your initial session. You should not experience any pain during your session as this is a gentle energy treatment protocol not a manipulation or deep pressure massage.
How long will a session last?
If you are receiving a Reiki or IGM® session, your first session will last approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours – this includes a consultation before and after your session. Typically, subsequent sessions will last about an hour. If your child is receiving Physical Therapy services, the initial evaluation session will typically be 1 to 1-1/2 hours long and the frequency and duration of subsequent sessions will be determined at that time. If your child is receiving Reiki or IGM® sessions, the initial session will also be approximately 1 to 1-1/2 hours with subsequent sessions lasting about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reiki and/or acupressure sessions for companion animals vary according to size and temperament of your pet.
