Why 35 sessions?

The effect comes from repetition. Only over the whole course do the vessels adapt. In the large studies, treatment consisted of 35 sessions.

Can it be shorter?

We offer different packages depending on condition, symptoms and goal: from a shorter series to the full series of 35 sessions. Which package fits, we decide in the preliminary consultation.

When do you notice something?

Most patients notice a change towards the end of the course or in the weeks that follow.

Can the course be repeated?

The series can be repeated. In a three-year study, the effect was clearest with two series per year.
