In saying that, If I can not make any difference for you in 3 to 4 sessions I will be referring you to someone else. 

1. Find out what kind of treatment you want. Some want to relax and not do assessment or actively participate in corrective work. Some clients want the issue resolved as quickly as possible and are willing to follow my guidance.

Weekly to fortnightly treatments are usually for those with chronic pain, that have had multiple health issues, surgeries, or  injuries. This type of frequency is to help with ongoing pain management with the end goal being able to self manage their pain.  

Monthly clients who attend are highly active, or have demanding physical jobs but are not as interested in doing self care at home due to other commitments or lack of time.  

The majority of my clients see me periodically for 1 to 4 sessions for a particular issue. I try my best to get people pain free as quickly as possible, for as long as possible.
