Our therapists make an evaluation with the patient every session before continuing the treatment program to keep an active goal and moving forward to other techniques if needed.
Each session takes 45-60 minutes each depending on the stage of the patient and the goal to achieve.
It is best to focus on the technique used for what you may need than the time! Trust your process of healing!
The number of sessions depends on the evaluation and goal of each patient.
Our method of therapy based on evidence and working together with the patient by himself, in most cases allows us to attend them once a week at the beginning and then delay the sessions every two- three weeks as we see improvement.

Think of physical therapy as “training your body to heal.” During that training, because of the exercise or different techniques for stimulation, the body is subjected to a certain amount of stress that commonly leads to mild irritation or soreness in the muscles.
Sometimes there are other side effects that are no longer than 24hrs after therapy as skin change of color, itchiness, or the most common muscle soreness or discomfort.
Communication with your therapist is very important so make sure you let them know how you feel after your PT sessions.
Physical Therapy involves no high risk as long as a correct evaluation of the patient and their medical history record are carried out with precision and honesty to your physiotherapist.
When starting a consultation, our therapists are always in charge of taking a medical history record in which we evaluate the use of different techniques that can be performed with each patient to achieve the goals in our sessions.
Physical therapy should never cross over from discomfort and soreness into true pain. If it happens, you should consult with your therapist, you may require modification in the treatment in order to achieve your goals without creating pain or causing further damage.
People experience pain/soreness/discomfort in different ways, each person’s unique experiences, physiology, psychology, injury, personality, and more will determine both how they respond to physical therapy.
You should never compare your experience, every body is and reacts different to therapy, better ask your therapist if what you are feeling is part of the process of healing or needs some modification.
