45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes.
Assuming that you are attempting physical therapy as a first intervention to hopefully avoid surgery or further worsening of your symptoms, then a 4-6 week bout of treatment should be enough to give you a reasonably accurate assessment of the potential to succeed with conservative care. Physical therapy is the science of blending physiology with exercises and applying these principles to the body when an injury is sustained. Physical therapy for back and neck conditions focuses on the structures that support the spine and its joints including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. A normal physical therapy session will last between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. During that time period there will be a combination of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise designed to focus on the deficits that were noted during the initial evaluation. After knee replacement surgery, you are usually sent home or to a rehabilitation facility, depending on your condition at that time. If you are sent to a facility, the average rehabilitation stay is approximately seven to ten days. If you are sent directly home from the hospital, your doctor will usually have a physical therapist come to treat you at home. Six months to several years of sessions would not be uncommon for this type of depth-oriented therapy. It is, of course, entirely up to the client to decide how long he or she wishes to work with a therapist. Some clients may prefer a long-term, broader approach. It's not clear if your decision to end therapy was yours or your therapist's. If a person is dissatisfied with her/his therapy or therapist, it's best to bring this up for discussion in a therapy session. The timeframe and success of physical therapy then depends on the ability to restore the space and proper function of the shoulder joint. In some cases, this can be achieved by correcting faults in the posture of the neck, upper back, shoulder blade, and shoulder region. A Brian Yee, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, answered. It depends on the Physical Therapy clinic you are going to, as well as the specific speciality you are seeing. Such clinics as Pediatric, Neurological, Balance/Vestibular, or Burn patients may need over an hour to properly assess / evaluate that patient.
