• After the initial sessions, plan for a follow-up session every 4-5 weeks to maintain progress, prevent pain, and stay up and running well.
• For ongoing issues, some clients may benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions throughout the year, depending on the complexity of their condition and goals.
