How many physical therapy visits will I need?

Our goal at iron is always to help you recover in the least amount of time possible, but each case is treated individually. On average, non-surgical patients graduate in about 12 visits, but often start to feel improvement after just a few sessions. However, your progress and the number of physical therapy sessions you need will depend on your individual condition and commitment to therapy.

Each physical therapy appointment will last about 45 minutes.

After an initial evaluation, the physical therapist will estimate how long it will take you to recover.

Below are a few more factors that can affect the amount of time it takes you to graduate:

1) Addressing Pain Early

Addressing your pain early results in the least number of visits so you can quickly return to the activities you love.

2) Chronic or Neglected Pain

If you have chronic or neglected pain, you may need more visits, but you will leave with the confidence that you have addressed the underlying issues and will remain pain free.

3) Post-Surgical Patients

Recovering from surgery is hard work, and we are here to make it go as quickly and easily as possible. You will be seen three times per week for 6 or more weeks. It is a substantial commitment to make a full recovery, but your dedication will pay off.
