Consult a physiotherapist

The sessions
How long does a physical therapy session last?
A session usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. The exact duration depends on your problem, your goals, and the type of treatment. Each session is individualized to optimize your recovery.
How many physical therapy sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on the pathology, the duration of the pain and your goals (relief, rehabilitation, return to sports). Some acute pain improves in a few sessions, while more complex issues require longer follow-up. A treatment plan is discussed at the outset.
