More Frequently Asked Questions

More often than not, improvement can be felt after your very first session. The speed of maximum improvement depends entirely upon the condition of your muscles at the beginning. On average, good improvements are noticeable 4-6 weeks of consistent treatments.

HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?

Like any form of exercise, the results are never permanent unless you do something to maintain them. We suggest daily treatment from onset for a minimum of three weeks, with 2-3 sessions weekly thereafter. By having 2-3 sessions per week, you should be able to maintain your results.
