Great Question!
The frequency/length of sessions depends on your specific needs/goals, the type of pain/challenges you're experiencing, & your personal exercise/mobility routines.
For acute pain or discomfort, Nelle typically recommend sessions 1-2 times per week.
Once you have achieved your goal/your pain subsides, periodic maintenance is suggested with the recommended frequency being something you discuss with Nelle.
As a rule, longer sessions closer together achieves results faster; however you will still progress even if you can only do sessions periodically.
Needs can be separated into 4 different categories, and below are the recommendations for each.
ACTIVE HEALING
This is the acute stage of healing after an injury or the starting point of addressing a long-term problem.
Longer sessions (60-90 minutes) closer together (1-2x/week) are recommended at this stage for efficent results.
MAINTENANCE
A generally healthy person with minor body/joint problems will benefit from sessions on a maintenance schedule such as (60-90 minutes, 1x 2x/month).
LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT
A person in this category is dealing with (A.) chronic, long-term issues or (B.) conditions like congenital scoliosis or certain types structural damage from injury/surgery that could make complete healing difficult to achieve.
For chronic conditions that require healing over a longer timeline, discuss with Nelle for a personalized plan of care as to how often/how long it is recommeded to receive sessions.
ATHLETIC/SPORTS PREP
For the day of athletic/sports events, a (30 minute) FST session at a quicker pace amps up the sympathetic nervous system to prepare the body for athletic activity by improving reaction time, flexibility, & strength for optimal performance.
For correcting body imbalances that affect athletic performance, longer restorative sessions of (60 or 90 minutes) are the way to go, however give yourself at least 5-7 days before your event to integrate after a longer corrective session.
