Restoring functions can be very challenging and may require more sessions than the average “fitness” client. Here, we give some guidelines on MET sessions, frequency, and duration for common conditions. PLEASE NOTE: Sessions, frequency, and duration also can differ from below depending upon the client’s fitness level and other conditions the client may have.
