As each condition and person is different, it is difficult to tell how many treatments may be required. However, generally three or four sessions is sufficient and some people may only need one.

How long do treatment sessions last?
Your initial consultation may take a little longer and can last about 45 to 60 minutes. Follow up treatments are 30 minutes.

Do I need to be referred by a Doctor?
You do not need a Doctor’s referral to attend for assessment or treatment but sometimes it may be necessary to refer back to them if NHS medical imaging or consultant referral is required.
