Some patients get up from their first session "feeling better" but not able to describe specifically how. Some feel a distinct relief of the pain that they came in with. Others might feel a little "foggy" and unclear. All are signs of the body engaging in the healing process. The important thing to remember is that your body is going to continue working with the internal fluid flows that we have facilitated, for a few hours or more after you leave the treatment table. Please be gentle with yourself and your schedule following your treatment (no heavy workouts!). Some patients enjoy a gentle walk, some feel like they need a nap, and others might be enjoying a sense of energy and vitality that has been missing for a while. Occasionally an old ache or pain might surface, again, this is your body doing its "clean-up" job and if you breathe with it (rather than clenching tightly around it), what surfaces will pass. The body processes its healing at its own pace; injuries that you sustained years ago might take a longer course of therapy to dissipate.
