Question 6

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Every individual’s situation and injury are unique in their own way. Some may require just 1 or 2 sessions to get on the right track and fix any underlying issues. However, in most cases recovery takes time and patience. Therefore, it can typically take 6-8 sessions to really unpack the issue and really utilize the customized treatment plan. It is also important to book in follow up sessions every 4-6 weeks to maintain your health and well-being.
