This is not how physio works.
Depending on your injury, you may see physio (on average) 4-8 times for a complete rehab. Plenty are less, some are more.
Rehabbing an injury involves far more than just "some exercises". Rehab is a progression based on adapting injured tissue to load by stimulating healing, restoring proper mechanics, and progressive load. Exercises will change and become more difficult, joints need to be mobilized and/or manipulated, and muscles/ligaments/tendons need to be worked on.
If you only need one session then your injury was probably going to heal with time anyway. And note that pain free does not mean proper mechanics have been restored as you may have residual stiffness/weakness.
