At a glance
Choose duration by the work required rather than a universal ideal. Travel time, adjustment, investigations and the chance to practise routines all affect what is realistic.
A short break
A few nights may suit rest or an introduction to a wellness setting. Long-distance travel can consume much of that benefit. Confirm whether a short package includes a coherent programme or merely access to facilities.
A structured week
A week can create time for consultations, interpretation and initial practice. Ask which appointments are guaranteed and which results arrive later. Avoid compressing so much into each day that you have no recovery time.
An extended stay
Extra time can support adjustment and observation, but it also needs a clear purpose. Discuss work and family arrangements, review points and what would make an extension useful rather than simply longer.
