How long does a session last? A wellness session, where we work your whole body from head to foot, takes about 45–50 minutes. How many sessions do I need? This depends. Patients with chronic pain often need 6–10 sessions over a period of 6–8 weeks. Some people only need a couple of AquaStretch™ sessions to restore their mobility and quickly move into strengthening exercises. Others use AquaStretch™ sessions like a deep massage and come in every few months to feel good or recover from a competitive activity such as a marathon. Does my insurance company cover AquaStretch™? All our therapists are trained in AquaStretch™ and may use some of the techniques as part of the therapy plan of care. The wellness full-body session is not covered by insurance and is offered at our discounted cash rate of $100 per session.
