How often should I get a massage?
Often people put off getting a massage until their pain starts interfering with everyday life and activities. Whilst one massage will take the edge off discomfort, without follow up treatments there is little possibility of achieving a full resolution and completely removing the source of pain.
Pain and discomfort are often due to our soft tissue forming a pattern of strain over time. In order to relieve this, a structured schedule of treatments is needed to allow the soft tissues to re-organise themselves back to optimal balance.
A one off treatment is ideally about maintenance. For some clients this means regular on-going appointments with a massage therapist. For others, a treatment is needed when they feel their body is out of balance, and want to eliminate the problem before it worsens.
Ultimately, the regularity of massage treatments is dependent on the particular client’s physical requirements. From a clinical and holistic perspective, it is advised that clients pay attention to their bodily rhythms and nurture themselves in a timely manner.
At Live Active, we can help to provide a tailored treatment plan involving scheduled massage therapy treatments to ensure your body continues to function optimally, and reduce your chance of injury. Call us on 8073 3337 to book a massage today.
