I have had 2 sessions so far and the therapist said I should see definite results after 5 sessions. Does this seem copecetic?

Hello again @bustrbrwn22, I want to make sure I understand. You are seeing an Expert MFR Therapist. She feels that it will take 5 sessions. I think that is reasonable. Sometimes, my therapist is able to relieve the restriction completely, and sometimes, it will take 3 sessions because of the layers of fascia to be released. There are some areas that may need a little maintenance work every week to keep the area free of the tangly fascia.

It is interesting to watch an MFR therapist decide where to start. They observe your body or ask you to walk up and down the corridor with an without shoes. The clues are there to the trained eye. My feet need to be done every week so I can drive safely. I also do feet, neck, and other areas at home with props that help define the area, relieve the pain and keep the fascia under control.

Good luck with your sessions. In what areas are you working now? Please let us know how it goes.

Be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
