How Often Should You Get a Massage? A Simple Guide for Everyday Life

Lots of people love how massage makes them feel—relaxed, less sore, more clear-headed. But one big question we get all the time is:
“How often should I come in for a massage?”
The answer depends on your life, your body, and how you’re feeling. Some people come in just once in a while. Others make it part of their regular routine—like brushing their teeth or going for a walk. Here’s a simple guide to help you figure out what might work best for you.
1. If You’re Stressed or Just Want to Feel Better Overall
Come in once a month.
If you’re feeling tense, tired, or just need to relax more, a massage every 4 weeks can do wonders. It helps calm your mind, ease tight muscles, and even improve sleep.
Try this: Add aromatherapy (like lavender or eucalyptus) during your massage for an even deeper sense of calm. It’s just a $10 add-on and smells amazing.
2. If You Have Body Pain or Stiff Muscles
Come in every 1–2 weeks.
Got back pain, tight shoulders, or sore legs? You might feel better faster with regular massage—especially if your job keeps you sitting, standing, or lifting all day. Coming in every week or two helps your muscles stay loose and happy.
Try this: Use a heat pack at home between massages to keep the benefits going. We have some great ones at the front desk—easy to warm up and super soothing.
3. If You’re Recovering from an Injury or Doing Heavy Workouts
Come in weekly (at least for a while).
If you’re healing from something—or you work out a lot—your body needs extra care. Weekly massage can help you recover faster, reduce swelling, and keep you from getting hurt again.
Try this: A quick sauna session before your massage helps warm up your muscles. It’s a great combo for recovery and circulation.
Everyone’s Different
No two bodies are the same. Some people feel great after one session a month. Others need more support. The key is to listen to your body—and talk to your massage therapist. We’re here to help you figure out what feels best for you.
