While having an increase in symptoms is uncommon, it can happen, and in most cases your physical therapist can walk you through the steps needed to feel better. If you have increased symptoms after a PT session please contact our office. Be sure you explain to the office staff that you are having an increase in symptoms. The office staff will pull your chart and contact your therapist or a covering physical therapist.

In the unusual event that you suffer an increase in symptoms, please call us. When you do, please be sure you explain to the staff that you are having an increase in symptoms.

After the initial therapy, I will examine your eyes approximately every 3 months to gauge your response to the previous therapy. Since leakage and bleeding often recur and the abnormal vessels often return with this persistent disease, we must plan to give you Visudyne therapy every 3 months, until the bleeding and leakage are no longer present. Visudyne therapy causes the skin and eyes to temporarily become sensitive to light (photosensitivity).

Light therapy involves exposure to intense levels of light under controlled conditions. The recommended light therapy system consists of a set of fluorescent bulbs installed in a box with a diffusing screen and set up on a table or desktop at which one can sit comfortably for the treatment session. Treatment consists simply of sitting close to the light box, with lights on and eyes open.

This depends on several factors. Firstly if you are currently taking benzodiazepines you should not receive CBT because simply at best you are likely to be wasting your time. There have been studies on CBT and most have found that CBT is ineffective whilst a person is still on benzodiazepine drugs. This is because benzodiazepines inhibit the learning of certain new skills especially cognitive and emotional skills.

Your initial visit will take approximately one hour.

It is best not to eat at least a half hour before your session. You don't want to eat a full meal and then lie on a table. Your body is focusing on digestion and needs time. Massage could possibly upset your stomach because of all the stroking, kneading and pressure being applied to your back, in addition to causing the blood flow away from the stomach and towards the heart.

One session takes about 4 to 10 minutes once or twice a day. The duration of the entire course of treatment depends on different parameters like the reason for the treatment or the condition of the treated area.

In a remediation session, the educational therapist works with a client on activities chosen especially for that client based on needs reflected in the formal and informal assessments. The educational therapist, who keeps extensive notes on each session, provides activities with an appropriate level of challenge and watches the client's response to those activities to assess their approach to the task and how they process information. This is a key element of progress during treatment.

The most profound benefits of energy therapy often occur subconsciously, though some clients notice subtle or not-so-subtle sensations as energetic shifts take place. Each session is unique, as a therapist responds to his/her own intuitive guidance for the benefit of each client.

A therapy session consists primarily of a therapeutic conversation. It appears to be normal conversation but is strategic to the issues involved. During our initial session we'll discuss what is troubling you and how I might be able to help. Follow-up sessions will be designed around the type of therapy that would be the most effective for you.

During sessions you are expected to talk about the primary concerns and issues in your life. A session lasts 50 minutes, but some people request longer sessions. Usually weekly sessions are best. Some people who are in crisis or extreme distress need more than one session per week, at least until the crisis passes. During the time between sessions it is beneficial to think about and process what was discussed.
