“How Often Should I Get a Massage?”

A frequent question I get is, “How often should I get a massage”?
My answer: It depends!

If you are a generally healthy, active adult, then I would recommend you get a massage once a month.  Massage will help relieve stress, stretch tight muscles, and improve your sleep.

If you have an injury, I would like to see you once a week for 2-3 weeks.  Together we can judge your progress and set appointments as needed. For example:  Injuries like numbness and tingling in arms/fingers from overuse can usually be corrected in two or three sessions within a 2-week timeframe.  Then maintenance appointments once every two weeks for a month.  The last step is to get on a once a month massage schedule.

If you are an avid athlete or have a strenuous job, then I would recommend you get a massage every 2-3 weeks.  Regular massage will keep joints functioning properly and reduce muscles tightness.  This can help prevent injuries.
