My therapy treatments help my pain so much. Why can't I just keep coming once a week?

It's great that therapy works so well for you. However, the goal of therapy and all your other medical treatments is to get you back to your normal life. Your therapist wants to help you manage pain and movement problems on your own.

Your therapist won't just stop your visits. You will begin spacing out your visits. Then, when your visits come to an end, you will be given a home program of exercises. This program will be designed specifically for you. It can help you manage your pain and avoid or minimize future problems. So stick to it.

You can still check in with your therapist now and then to help iron out problems or track your progress. Even when your regular visits have ended, your therapist is still a resource for help with your pain.
