How Often Should You Get a Massage?

There is no single correct answer, but there are useful defaults depending on why you are booking.

For general stress and wellbeing, once a month keeps most people comfortable. For high-pressure work periods or poor sleep, fortnightly sessions produce a noticeably steadier baseline.

For a specific pain pattern, frequency matters more at the start. Weekly deep tissue for two or three weeks resolves the acute issue, then you can drop back to monthly.

Athletes and gym regulars benefit from a session every seven to ten days during heavy training blocks, ideally a day or two after the hardest workout.

Shorter treatments count too. A 30-minute head massage or foot reflexology between full sessions is an easy way to stay ahead of tension.
