How often should you really get a massage?

Treat or maintenance? Our therapists share an honest guide based on your lifestyle.

How often should you really get a massage?

It's one of the questions we're asked most. The honest answer: it depends on what you want from it. Here's how we think about it.

For general stress relief

Once a month is a lovely rhythm. It gives your body a regular chance to reset and stops tension from building into something more stubborn.

For desk-related aches

If you're working through specific tightness, two or three sessions a fortnight apart can help, then monthly to maintain. Pair it with our desk reset routine for best results.

For active lifestyles

Runners, lifters and cyclists often benefit from a session every two to three weeks, especially in heavy training blocks.

Whatever your rhythm, consistency matters more than intensity. That's exactly why we created our 5-Session Bundle and Monthly Calm Membership — to make regular self-care feel easy, not indulgent.

Choose a treatment, pick a time that suits you, and leave the rest to us.
