I recently had surgery, how many sessions will it take?

Surgical recovery is a process that varies for every individual. Most people feel relief after the first session, but this doesn’t mean one session will get rid of all your swelling and discomfort. It typically takes a series of sessions over the course of several weeks; the exact number will depend on many factors, including your overall health pre-surgery, what kind of procedure/procedures you’ve had, diet, hydration and more.
