How Often Should You Get a Massage?

The honest answer is: it depends on what the massage is for. Here's the practical breakdown we give customers who ask.

For general stress and sleep — every two to four weeks. This is the maintenance rhythm at which most people report a steady baseline improvement rather than a brief good weekend. If work is in a brutal phase, weekly for the duration is money well spent.

For desk-work tension — the neck-shoulder-upper-back complex responds best to shorter, more frequent sessions: a 30-minute head and shoulder massage every one to two weeks beats a monthly hour, because desk posture reloads the same muscles daily.

For training and sport — align with your training cycle: a deeper session in recovery weeks, lighter work after heavy blocks. Post-workout massage within a day or two of unusually hard sessions measurably reduces soreness.

For older bodies — gentle, regular sessions matter more than intense ones. Fortnightly senior wellness massage is the rhythm most of our regular families settle on, often as a standing booking with the same therapist.

The one wrong answer is "only when something hurts." By the time a knot announces itself, it has usually been building for weeks. Regularity is the whole trick — which is also why we'd rather you book a modest session monthly than a lavish one annually.
