How Often Should You Get a Massage?

There's no single right answer, but there are helpful guidelines based on your goals and lifestyle.

For stress relief and general wellbeing

Many people find that a relaxing massage every two to four weeks keeps stress in check and helps them feel consistently refreshed.

For muscle tension and stiffness

If you carry tension from desk work or exercise, more frequent sessions at first (for example every one to two weeks) can help, before moving to a maintenance schedule.

For occasional treats

Even an occasional massage, around a birthday, a stressful project or just because, is a worthwhile investment in yourself.

Listen to your body, and talk to your therapist. They can suggest a rhythm that suits you. Medical conditions? Please check with your doctor first.
