[00:03.112]- How do I say your name again?
[00:05.936]- Martin.
[00:10.403]- Right, Martin.
[00:13.851]Think the headaches have a lot to do with your posture at the computer.
[00:19.645]Can I just look at your tongue?
[00:26.993]Yes.
[00:30.458]Do you get cold fingertips?
[00:33.000]- Um, yes. Sometimes.
[00:41.392]- I'll just take your pulse.
[00:49.153]Your spleen is damp.
[00:51.497]- Mm.
[00:56.409]- Have you had acupuncture before?
[00:59.218]- No.
[01:00.223](It's important for patients to relax fully before I start the treatment,)
[01:04.041]- Okay, right. Let's have you up on the table.
[01:07.976](otherwise it can be a bit distressing.)
[01:12.823]Just put your wrist down by your side.
[01:16.787]You may feel a little tingle when I put this one in.
[01:28.840](The nails I use are between nine and fourteen inches long, and half an inch thick.)
[01:36.546]Okay, and now, two in your stomach.
[01:48.654](They must go through the body part, and at least two inches into the table,)
[01:56.212](otherwise the patient will slide off when I prop them against the wall.)
[02:00.626]And the other one. Can you move your head at all?
[02:06.366]- Don't want to.
[02:09.762]- Okay. Now, what I'm going to do, Martin, is prop you up on your board.
[02:22.404]Right. You might feel a little uncomfortable,
[02:26.269]'cause you're taking the weight of your body on those nails through your arms.
[02:30.898]- Yep.
[02:32.111]- So, you might want to try and just push down a bit.
[02:35.622]- Yep.
[02:37.740](Often, I'll leave several patients together along the walls.)
[02:40.503]- Be back about half an hour.
[02:43.759](They're usually concentrating too much on themselves to notice anything else.)
[02:51.054]Now Martin, I'm just gonna give your stomach nails a little tweak.
[02:57.480]Can you feel that?
[02:59.388]- Yes.
[03:00.670]- This one?
[03:04.209]Good.
[03:08.350]Sorry?
[03:12.084]Oh, Sarah's fainted. Alright.
[03:14.832]Yeah. That's quite normal.
[03:19.789]Alright Sarah?
[03:21.911]Just waking you up. Alright?
[03:24.413]There we are, alright?
[03:26.771]That's it. Wakey-wakey!
[03:30.181](I think the treatment is very successful.)
[03:34.482]Deep breaths, everyone!
[03:37.085](I've never had a patient come back.)
[03:42.122](We have difficulty getting some of them to leave.)
[03:47.790](Under their own steam.)
[03:51.189](We just have to leave them out the back.)
[03:56.526](They've normally gone in the morning.)
[04:02.919](Yeah.)
[04:03.829]
