The Okonguarri method of treatment works across all age groups. Although the majority of our participants are between the ages of 20 and 40, we have successfully treated patients from as young as 4 years. Elderly patients of up to 80 years and older have also been treated.

The majority of our patients are referred to Okonguarri by other health care professionals. The duration of stay depends entirely on the specific condition of the patient, but normally ranges between one and three weeks. A brief follow-up admission of a few days is usually advisable..
