Why timelines vary so much between patients, and what a realistic first month tends to look like.
It's the first question almost everyone asks, and the honest answer is that it depends on how long the problem has been building.
Recent problems move quickly
Something that started two weeks ago often responds within a handful of visits. The tissue isn't yet used to compensating, so restoring motion tends to stick.
Long-standing problems take longer
Pain you've had for years usually involves changes in strength and movement habits as well as joint restriction. That part responds to consistent work over weeks, not to any single visit.
What a first month usually looks like
Most people notice a change within the first two visits, though early relief often fades between appointments. As the exercises take hold, the good stretches get longer and the flare-ups get shorter. If nothing has shifted at all after three or four visits, we reassess rather than continue.
