How Often Should You Get a Massage?

Topic

How often should you get a massage to see real benefits? Practical guidance based on your goals and needs.

A practical, common question: how often should you actually book a massage to see real benefit?

General guidance

For chronic tension or recovery support: every 1-2 weeks initially, tapering to monthly maintenance
For general wellbeing and stress relief: once a month is a common starting point
For active athletes: more frequent sessions around intense training periods

Listen to your body

How your body responds is the best guide — persistent tightness returning quickly may suggest more frequent sessions, or addressing an underlying cause with physiotherapy alongside massage.
