How often you receive massage largely depends on your level of stress, amount of physical activity, and need for performance. 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 this in mind, you can find the blend of exercise and relaxation that best suits you. The rhythm and intensity of your activities will indicate whether it is better to use massage on an ongoing basis for conditioning, stress management and growth or once in a while for injury care and relaxation.
