Do the results last and if so, for how long?
Current research has shown that it can take up to 8 weeks to learn a new efficient behavioral pattern. As part of the IPA Manhattan Physical Therapy’s comprehensive approach, we advocate 6-month check-ins in a concerted effort to sustain the optimal performance achieved from your customized treatment program. Stress, environment changes, and other external factors can derail good habits and re-established movement patterns, and oftentimes 1 visit over a 6 month period can prevent you from falling back into old, damaging patterns. Think of it as going to a dentist for a bi-annual cleaning, equipped with the logic that it’s much easier to endure a teeth cleaning than a root canal!
