11. How soon should I expect to see progress?
Progress varies per person and per condition. Some people are able to see an improvement on the same day of physical therapy while it may take others weeks before they notice progress. Some conditions have been ongoing for years such as chronic pain after an injury, accident, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and more. As a result, it will most likely take a longer time to notice improvement. It is IMPERATIVE that you commit to attending your physical therapy sessions and doing your home exercise program to get the most out of your investment of money, time, and effort.
