How long does a physical therapy session last?
Most sessions run between 30 to 60 minutes—just enough time to get those muscles moving and progress flowing. Your physio will tailor the length to suit your condition, goals, and how your body’s feeling that day. No cookie-cutter treatments here—just focused, professional care made for you.
How long does it take for physical therapy to work?
It depends. Some people start feeling better after just a few sessions, while chronic issues like arthritis or sciatica might take a few weeks or even months to see real progress. Your physio will guide you through every step, making sure the plan fits your pace and goals.
Do I need to provide anything for my session?
Nope! Mobile physical therapists provide all equipment. 🙂
All we need is for you to have thought of a small area for the treatment table to be set up. Since your body temperature can drop slightly during a consultation, please ensure the room is at a comfortable setting for you.
