Preparation for Therapy

During the first visit, we conduct an interview regarding the patient's medical history. Laboratory and radiological tests can be helpful, but they are usually not necessary for diagnosis.

If the patient has such documentation, we recommend bringing it along. If you do not have such tests, the therapist will decide whether any tests are needed.

• We provide disposable bedding in the office, but you may bring your own large towel for comfort.
• Please do not take painkillers on the day of your visit.
• If the patient weighs more than 120 kg, please inform us before the session (we need to adjust the treatment table accordingly).
• We do not recommend eating meals for one and a half hours before therapy, and do not consume alcoholic beverages throughout the day of treatment.
• The skin should be clean; a shower is available if necessary. On the day of treatment, do not apply lotion. Also, please do not overdo deodorants and makeup.
• Please come without accompanying persons.
• If for any reason you want to cancel or reschedule your appointment, do so at least 24 hours in advance (a text message is acceptable).
• Cancelling at the last minute or not showing up for the treatment will be disappointing not only for us but also for another suffering patient who could have benefited from an available slot that day.

After Therapy

• To the frequently asked question "how many sessions are needed," we reply - we don’t know. Each case is very individual. However, it may help to know that the vast majority of cases (70-80%) that our patients bring (including those that other therapists have struggled with) require just 1 session to achieve a breakthrough. Our sessions are focused. We always strive for maximum results in the shortest time possible. Generally, more effort is needed for cases that have persisted in the body and have been developing for a long time - especially in older, ill, or obese individuals. Cases involving patients who have previously had spinal or joint surgeries are also somewhat more complicated. We do not conduct therapy aggressively, and if we do not see results after a maximum of a few sessions, we try to guide the patient to the appropriate specialist.
• If this was your first session, it is very likely that you will feel sore for a while in the areas that were massaged for therapy after a few hours. Soreness is also caused by the adaptation of the muscle and ligament system to the new alignment of the body’s skeletal structure, and it typically lasts from a few hours to a few days. Very rarely, but in extreme cases, it can last even a few weeks. The intensity and duration of this soreness depend on similar factors as mentioned above (age, condition, health, body structure, previous use of massages or manual therapy, individual pain threshold). Do not worry and be patient. It should only get better from here. During the session, you will receive more detailed instructions regarding this. Taking a day off work the day after the treatment is an overreaction. It is similar to muscle soreness after a significant effort, especially after a long break from such activities.

• We prefer cash payments, although there is an option to pay by card or BLIK.
• The parking spaces designated for patients of dobra-terapia.com are marked in blue on the photo.
• As shown in the photo below. Although the parking spots are on the right, the office is on the left side of the building (entrance A). We mention this additionally because the gentleman living next door is not pleased with the frequent mix-ups.
• Our office is on the 2nd floor, and there is no elevator in the building.
