The pain was intense and worse if I sat down and then tried to get up. Dan spent an hour in the first session after which I was able to stand up straight. During the next sessions the pain has subsided considerably and I was able to move around more freely. This resulted in me being able to get back to work quicker than I had initially anticipated. I followed the exercises Dan sent me over and continue with them.
