How often should you get a massage?

Although you may feel better, even getting false notions of feeling “healed” after one session, however, like most wellness activities you’ll see the BEST RESULTS if the treatment is maintained for a longer duration, or regularly if you are in more intense, work or sports related, physical activities.

If you are not sure, and you don’t have a regiment prescribed by a Medical Doctor, we suggest the following

1x per week

  • Severe chronic pain or illness
  • Post surgery or injury (may need to be approved by a doctor)
  • Severe headaches or migraines
  • Severe soreness or injuries caused by occupations or sports
This yields the quickest results!

2x per month

  • Pain from injury or illness
  • Frequent stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Regular headaches or migraines
  • Soreness or injuries caused by occupations or sports
This yields quick results!

1x per month

  • Mild pain from injury or illness
  • Regular stress, anxiety or depression
  • Mild headaches or migraines
  • Mild soreness or injuries caused by occupations or sports
This yields decent results and maintains improvements!

Every few months

  • Rare pain from injury or illness
  • Rare stress, anxiety or depression
  • Rare headaches or migraines
  • Rare soreness or injuries caused by occupations or sports
This improves wellness and maintains improvements!
