I’d recommend spacing out the sessions evenly if possible. Example: Day 1 is a Monday, Day 2 is a Wednesday, Day 3 is a Friday.
It's important to remember that in the areas of past pain/injury - the quality of tissue could be weak, so the amount of force/stress those areas can absorb will be low at first. So it's important as you do the classes to keep the intensity low at first. Keep your irradiation levels low, especially during PAILs/RAILs, always work in pain-free ranges of motion, and slowly build up the intensity over time. The goal is to stimulate these areas but not over do it in the beginning, and then gradually progress over time.
I hope you enjoy the program!
