💆♀️ HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET A MASSAGE?
One of the questions I get asked all the time is: “How often should I be coming in?”
There’s no perfect answer for everyone, but after 15 years as a massage therapist, this is the general rule of thumb I like to use:
🔴 Pain every day?
Aim for massage once a week until things start calming down.
🟠 Pain 2–3 days a week?
Try every other week.
🟡 Pain once or twice a week?
Once a month is a great maintenance schedule.
🟢 Feeling pretty good and just want to stay that way?
A massage every 4–6 weeks can be a great part of your regular self-care routine.
The goal isn’t to keep you coming in every week forever! 🙌🏼
When someone is hurting frequently, I like to see them a little more often at first. As their body starts feeling better and staying better between appointments, we can gradually spread those sessions farther apart.
Of course, every body is different, and this is simply my professional rule of thumb—not a one-size-fits-all prescription. Your activity level, stress, injuries, work, and what your body responds to all matter.
✨ A good massage schedule should help you spend MORE of your month feeling good—not just give you a few good days after your appointment.
