How often should I receive massage therapy?

This varies. If seeking relief from severe, persistent, or chronic pain, it is often advisable to receive on a more frequent basis. More pain relief will be achieved after each session, until sessions can be scheduled further apart for maintenance.

For those who seek relief from everyday aches and pains and stress reduction we recommend every 2-6 weeks. Massage therapy should be based on each individual’s needs and wants. Your therapist can assist you with determining your massage therapy needs. Regular massage, like regular exercise, is an investment of time in your body. While one session of massage will have a certain impact, massage therapy on an ongoing basis has a cumulative effect. With client participation and regular bodywork you can experience a mental/physical/spiritual balance.

Why does my therapist encourage me to focus on my breathing pattern?

Taking a deep breath is beneficial not only in everyday life but also during your massage. Upon taking a slow, deep breath your muscles release tension and the massage can be absorbed more deeply.

How do I receive the maximum benefits of massage therapy?

• Drink plenty of water after your bodywork to flush toxins.
• Stretching between sessions is always a good idea.
• Try to maintain proper posture, a sense of balance, and a general feeling of well-being.
