Physiotherapy Session counts depend upon assessing the patient, your pain severity, whether the condition is acute or chronic, and without actually providing treatment, it’s not possible to say how many sessions would lead to recovery. A proper assessment is needed to give a realistic timeline.
Next Steps
For now take rest and try to take treatment from a qualified & Experienced Physiotherapist.
