How Often Should i Receive a MAssage?
How often should i receive a massage?
When you ask your massage therapist this question, there are two possible answers. One answer leaves the decision up to you, which may result in you not booking an appointment that day, but you may book in the future. The other answer will ensure that you either purchase a membership or a multi-package, and you will leave with a few appointments scheduled on your calendar.
One Response
It’s common to want to visit for a massage frequently, but it’s important to listen to your body’s signals. Pay attention to how you feel before and after your massage, and how long it takes for those feelings to return. It’s recommended to schedule your next appointment before you start feeling the same way you did before your previous session. At the very least, it’s advisable to come in once a month.
This answer pushes the client to book before they leave.
Based on your level of activity I would recommend coming in once a week for about 6 weeks then we taper down to coming in biweekly for about 2 months then we taper down once monthly.
Both of these options will benefit you, the client. If you come in for a massage once a week, you’ll be able to keep muscle tension at bay, and by the end of the six weeks, you should feel like you’re living pain-free. If you switch to biweekly massages, you’ll be able to gauge how long you can go before needing another massage. The frequency of massages you need will depends on your physical activity. After two months, you may be able to step down to once-a-month massages, which means you’ll be able to go about your day with little to no chronic pain.
This answer also gives the therapist the opportunity to talk about everything they have to offer. And leaves you with the idea the therapist wants you to come back. And you and the therapist can make a plan for your care. The First answer is okay it’s not pushy. And leaves it up to the client.
