How Does Face Physio Work?
Each session begins with a comprehensive assessment by a registered physiotherapist, evaluating factors such as posture, facial symmetry, muscle tension, and jaw mechanics. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed, incorporating the appropriate techniques to address individual concerns.
Sessions are available in two formats:
- 1-Hour Session: Includes a thorough assessment and a comprehensive treatment utilizing various modalities.
- 30-Minute Session: Designed for follow-up visits, focusing on targeted care and home exercise guidance.
Clients are advised to arrive with a clean, moisturized face and to schedule appointments at least two weeks after any other facial treatments. The personalized nature of Face Physio™ ensures that each treatment aligns with the client’s specific needs and goals, promoting optimal facial health and a rejuvenated appearance.
