Though it is impossible for us to determine how how many sessions you'll need before you're healed, especially when we haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting you in person, or had the opportunity to assess you visually or manually yet. What we can tell you is: you likely didn't get into this situation over night; this has been years in the making. So to assume that you will be healed in an hour, is a pretty unrealistic expectation. You've probably figured out by now that there is not a quick fix for what you have. Real healing is going to take some time and some work... and not just on the therapist's part, but on your part too.
That being said, we strongly recommend that you BOOK THREE SESSIONS, as close together as possible (no more than 2-3 days apart from one another). HERE'S WHY:
- ALLOWS THIS THERAPY A REAL CHANCE TO WORK. Believe it or not, some people come in with the expectation that years of trauma and dysfunction can be corrected in just one session of therapy. Now, it's not impossible, we've seen it happen. However, those cases are the exception. On the other hand, sometimes a person will need more than three sessions to get them back to a pain free, healthy, active lifestyle. But we find that starting with THREE sessions, helps YOU, the client, to make an educated assessment on whether or not this therapy is working for you, and whether or not you'd like to continue to explore it as a therapy. On our, the therapist's end, it gives us a chance to better observe how quickly and effectively your individual body and fascia respond to this treatment, which helps us better able to make an accurate recommendation on how many more sessions, if any, you may need to reach your goals.
- MOMENTUM IS A GOOD THING! We recommend booking 2-3 days apart because it allows us to take advantage of therapeutic momentum. Obviously, we won't always be able to fix everything in just one session. Though, we don't want to run the risk of all the good work we did, to be pulled back into dysfunction by all the things we weren't able to get to yet though. Spacing the first three appointments close together like this, helps us to stay ahead of setbacks like this.
- YOU GUARANTEE AND SECURE YOUR APPOINTMENT TIMES AND DATES. Because Myofascial Release WORKS, it is definitely an in-demand therapy. As a result, we are typically booked out at least a month. Find a week or two wherein you can commit to coming in for these initial three sessions close together, not only in your own schedule, but in ours as well. Even if you have to book it a few weeks out, by booking ALL THREE SESSIONS at once, you'll guarantee that those spots are reserved for you. Those who book only their Initial Evaluation & Treatment Session, and choose to wait until they've tried out that first appointment, to book their next one, unfortunately run into the problem of there not being any openings for another 3-5 weeks... which throws a wrench into Myofascial Release really being able to be as effective as it can be. If you book three sessions all at once, come in for the first session and decide Myofascial Release isn't for you (still something that hasn't happened), then you can always cancel your other two appointments, No, harm, no foul. As all wise mothers say, "Its better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them." Moms are the best!
