The frequency at which you be recommended to go to physical therapy will vary quite a bit depending on the reason for which you are receiving treatment. It is common that once its safe to start physical therapy following a surgical procedure or injury that you will need to go 3 to 4 times per week, and gradually be able to go less often likely only once weekly after there has been substantial progress. Even though you likely will not be going to physical therapy every day, you will likely be instructed to do daily stretches and exercises at home to further improve the condition and to reach the desired results faster. It may feel as if your physical therapist is pushing you, but that is required in order to make progress and they will not push you to do anything that could lead to more harm or injury. Most physical therapists will provide regular appointments (at least once weekly if not more frequently) for 6 to 8 weeks before it will be up to the patient to continue doing the exercises and stretches on their own. There are some cases where patients will be able to check-in with their physical therapist every couple of months or annually to ensure that the progress is continuing.
