Our sessions are usually 60+ minutes, depending on how your body responds. I like to focus on what can be achieved in each session rather than adhering to set amounts of time. Some treatments take longer to address deeper issues, while others are more straightforward.
-
The spacing of our sessions is guided by progression and regression. Early in treatment, especially with complex cases, the optimal approach is to keep our session spacing close together. This minimizes the window for regression which allows us to make continuous progress without having to redo work done from previous visits.
As your body responds and primary adjustments are achieved, our treatment frequency tapers, for example: weekly sessions become biweekly β monthly β every 2β3 months β 3β6 months β yearly, until optimal recovery is complete.

Easy Cases: 1 - 8 sessions

Condensed treatment strategies are used for international cases and those travelling from long distances. 3 - 6 weeks is the general timeframe for condensed treatment plans.

Perceived Percentage of Recovery (PPR): A simple metric used to gauge overall recovery progress. 0% represents the worst state imaginable and 100% represents a return to full function with no symptoms. We use this metric as a communication tool for quick assessment and feedback.
Symptom Tracking Journal: An in-depth tracking system used to gauge individual symptom progress. We quickly adapt to our new normal, so it can be difficult to remember how we felt last week, last month, or even yesterday. This tracking system helps us become aware of individual symptom changes as they occur.

I sterilize all equipment with alcohol before and after each use. Breathing freely and fully is a vital aspect of treatment, therefore, masks are not allowed. In order to ensure optimal results from treatment, there are several protocols that I ask each patient to adopt. These protocols are listed through the patient portal which you will have access to upon acceptance of your case.
