How often should I get Myotherapy?
The frequency & need for Myotherapy sessions can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of your condition, your response to treatment, and your therapist's recommendations. Generally, it's best to discuss this with your myotherapist, as they can provide personalized advice based on your individual needs. However, some general guidelines can help you determine the frequency of sessions:
Initial Phase: In the beginning, you might need more frequent sessions to address acute pain or discomfort and to establish a treatment plan. This could involve weekly sessions or even more frequent visits depending on your condition.
Maintenance Phase: Once your symptoms improve, you may transition to a maintenance phase where sessions are less frequent. This could mean bi-weekly or monthly appointments to help manage any residual issues and prevent recurrence.
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body responds to treatment. If you start to feel discomfort or tension returning between sessions, you might need more frequent appointments or we might even need to adapt the approach we are taking.
Long-Term Goals: Consider your long-term goals for treatment. If you're aiming to address chronic issues or improve overall mobility and function, you may benefit from regular ongoing sessions. Myotherapy can include many other modalities other than hands on massage such as exercise prescription which can help set you up for greater longer term relief.

Remember that consistency is key in seeing the best results from myotherapy, the body takes time to heal. However, it's also important not to overdo it, as excessive treatment may not necessarily yield better outcomes.
