This is a very good question and one that I do not know the answer to! Every person will experience their own healing journey. It will depend on how often you come for treatment, how long you’ve had the underlying issue, your commitment to the work and the frequency in which you perform at-home treatments. I suggest that clients come in more frequently up front so that we can get a handle on treatments, get a good plan for the future and work through any healing crisis that may surface. You’ve spent a lifetime building up these restrictions, therefore you will not be “healed” in one session. This is about lasting change in your body and following the patterns of blockages until they are completely released. There are no quick fixes when dealing with pain and especially chronic pain. Put your health and well-being first and get the treatments that you need, no matter the number.
