How often to go for a massage?

Many customers ask me how long and how regularly they should go for a massage.

The way to the desired goal is regularity and prevention. Not to deal with acute painful situations when one does not slowly bend, but to try to prevent it. Only one massage in x months relieves, but does not eliminate the long-term problem (except for trigger point therapy, this type of therapy can fix specific long-term problems - where they target specific areas where pain fires) after the first visit - in terms of muscle stiffness and muscle pain .

1x a week - if you are an active / top sportsman, or have pain, problematic parts, extremely stiff muscles, you have a sedentary job and you are constantly struggling with the cervical spine, or you are standing at work and have problems with the lumbar spine….

1x in 2 - 3 weeks - I recommend as the most sensible option, massaged muscle stays in good condition for about 14 - 21 days, then begins to get back to its original phase, so regularity is needed. It's like exercising, if you go to the gym regularly, the result will soon arrive and the massage is the same, only regularity will lead to the desired goal. Overall improvement is not a matter of a few visits and then a long pause and to come back only when everything hurts and you barely move. To maintain the desired state, i.e. permanently relaxed muscles, without pain, trigger points, spasms etc. it is important to walk regularly. Why not allow your body to massage 1-2 times a month? It is the least we can do for ourselves. Why do we solve everything at the last minute when everything hurts again?

1x every 4 weeks - in case you have no problems, you do not have so many stiff muscles, nothing hurts anywhere, just one visit per month is sufficient for prevention and regeneration, please take this as the recommended minimum.

Randomly after months - in terms of short-term positive effects, relaxation and momentary relaxation why not, but no therapeutic or preventive effects can be mentioned.

The first massages can be unpleasant, of course, eliminating various problems such as when you move your head it feels that it "pulls" somewhere, when it bends "somewhere", or that it almost does not bend, etc.
