It is a common question, and the honest answer is that it depends on you. How often you book a massage comes down to what you want from it, how your body feels and what fits your diary and budget. Here are a few simple guidelines.
If you want to relax and unwind
If a massage is your way of switching off and treating yourself, every four to six weeks works well for many people. It gives you something to look forward to and a regular break from a busy routine.
If you carry a lot of everyday tension
If you spend long days at a desk, driving or on your feet, you may find that tightness builds up quickly. Some people like to book every two to three weeks for a while, then space their appointments out once they feel looser.
If you are just starting out
Book one massage and see how you feel over the following days. Notice how you sleep, how your shoulders and back feel, and how long the relaxed feeling lasts. That will tell you a lot about how often to come back.
Listen to your body
There is no right or wrong routine. If you notice tension creeping back, or you simply feel ready for some time out, that is a good sign it is time to book.
If you have a medical condition, an injury or are pregnant, it is always worth checking with your GP first. We will also ask about your general health in a short, confidential consultation on your first visit.
Making regular massage easy
Because we come to you, a regular massage does not have to mean a regular trip across town. A home massage can be much easier to fit around work and family life. We have mobile slots Monday to Sunday, and you can request your preferred date and time online.
