In general, you should attend physical therapy until you reach your PT goals or until your therapist—and you—decide that your condition is severe enough that your goals need to be re-evaluated. Typically, it takes about 6 to 8 weeks for soft tissue to heal, so your course of PT may last about that long.
Do you tip a physical therapist?
I’m in PT school now but in the past have worked as an LMT in similar settings, and have known many other LMTs who did as well. It is commonplace for people to tip LMTs whether or not they are patients with insurance coverage. In general, some patients tip while others don’t, and there is no expectation either way.
