I recommend spacing out the sessions evenly throughout your week. Example: Day 1 is a Monday, Day 2 is a Wednesday, Day 3 is a Friday.
Just a reminder - when training in areas of past injury/pain/dysfunction - it’s really important to keep your intensity levels low at first. The quality of tissue in these areas could be weak, so the amount of stress/force/load these tissues can absorb will be low at first. So keep those intensity levels low initially if you have to, especially during PAILs/RAILs, and then gradually build up over time. The goal is to adhere to progressive overload and slowly build up. Always listen to your body and go at your own pace, and never work in any painful ranges of motion. Discomfort can be normal, but we never want that feeling to move towards a sharp pain, pinch, or twinge.
I hope you enjoy the program!
