“How often should I come in?” 🤍
This is one of the questions I hear most—and my recommendation starts with getting to know YOU.
Every body has different needs. Your daily routine, stress, health history, goals, and how you feel between appointments all help us decide what makes sense. That recommendation can change as your needs change, too.
🌿 With therapeutic massage and bodywork, we’re working with muscles and other soft tissues to help ease tension, support comfort, and encourage relaxation.
For a specific concern or recurring tension, we might discuss weekly or every-other-week appointments for a short period, then reassess. For ongoing relaxation and self-care, monthly appointments may be a comfortable starting point. These are possibilities we discuss together—not a schedule everyone needs to follow.
🌿 Manual lymphatic drainage has a different focus. It uses very light, slow, rhythmic skin movements to encourage lymph fluid movement. The technique and purpose differ from muscle-focused massage.
MLD frequency depends on why you’re receiving it, your health history, and your response. Care for diagnosed swelling may involve appointments closer together initially as part of a specialist’s treatment plan. After surgery, timing and frequency should follow your surgical team’s guidance. There isn’t one weekly or monthly schedule that fits everyone.
Consistency can look different for each person. It also doesn’t mean using more pressure or pushing through discomfort.
At Aligned & Alchemy Wellness, we’ll talk about what you’re hoping to feel and find a rhythm that fits your body, your goals, and your real life. Then we’ll adjust along the way. 🤍
