Although it’s not always possible, my goal is to always fix people within 1 session… or at least provide them *significant* relief & also give them the tools they need to fix it on their own.
However I find that the majority of my clients do not exercise, eat well, or take care of their body. Therefore, the more this is the case the more sessions it will take to fix the problem.
As a general rule of thumb, it should take me between 1-3 sessions to resolve the issue. If you’ve had a chronic problem (many years or even decades) it will take up to 3 sessions to clear the pattern. If it takes more than 3 sessions, the work I do is either not right for you or you’re not doing your homework.
However, you will know within the first session whether or not my work is beneficial… so if you don’t feel significant relief within the first session, there’s no point coming back for a second.
My goal is to always fix people within the shortest amount of time so I don’t waste your money. I’ve been to plenty of therapists who overcharge and under deliver so I don’t want to be that therapist
So in conclusion:
Most back/neck issues caused by tight muscles/knots I can generally clear up a good amount of or fix within first session. If you’ve had a problem for many years, it may take up to 3 sessions. If it takes more than 3 sessions, you’re either not doing your work or my work is not for you. This is more so the case if you don’t exercise (resistance training) or eat poorly. If you don’t address these factors, it’s unrealistic to expect massage (or any treatment) it fix your problem.
