How long will treatment take?

We plan by stages so you know what to expect and when.

Short answer: Most people feel meaningful improvement in 4–8 weeks.

  • Downshift (Circulation HD): 1–3 sessions to calm the area
  • Activate (Circulation PT): 2–6 weeks to restore strength and motion
  • Integrate: daily-life coaching to prevent recurrence

Typical 3-stage timeline

1. Downshift

Circulation HD to ease pain and release adhesions.

  • Sessions: 1–3
  • Interval: every 2–4 weeks
  • Goal: reduce pain, improve blood flow

2. Activate

Circulation PT to wake up weak muscles and movement.

  • Sessions: 4–8 (weekly/biweekly)
  • Focus: strength, range, control
  • Goal: normalize function

3. Integrate

Apply to daily life so gains stick.

  • Micro-habits and posture
  • Return-to-activity plan
  • Recurrence prevention

Personalized by condition: disc issues and Frozen Shoulder often take longer; sprains or early tendinopathy improve faster.

Examples by condition

Frozen Shoulder

  • HD 2–4 sessions to free the capsule
  • PT 6–10 sessions to restore range and strength
  • Home drills between visits to maintain gains

Neck/Headache

  • HD 1–2 sessions if nerve entrapment is present
  • PT 4–6 sessions for posture and deep neck flexors
  • Office/desk ergonomics for recurrence prevention

Sciatica/Disc

  • HD 2–3 sessions for nerve glide and space
  • PT 6–8 sessions for core/hip control
  • Graded loading for sitting and walking

Arm & Hand pain

  • PT 4–6 sessions for grip and shoulder stability
  • Work-technique coaching to stop flare-ups

We measure progress each visit
