Voltrushs - How Often Should You Book a Massage in Melbourne

The honest answer is that it depends on three things: how hard you train, how long you sit, and how quickly your body settles after a session. Someone running sixty kilometres a week during a marathon block needs very different spacing from someone who mostly wants an hour of quiet on a Saturday morning. For people in a heavy training block, fortnightly sessions tend to work well. That window is short enough to catch tightness before it changes how you move, and long enough that the tissue has recovered from the last treatment. Weekly is worth it for a few weeks around a race or when you are working through an injury that has already changed your gait. Once the block finishes, drop back to every three or four weeks and see how you hold up. If you sit at a desk most of the day, the calendar matters less than the habits around it. A session every three to four weeks keeps the worst of the upper back and hip tightness in check, but only if you are moving during the day. Coming in every fortnight while doing nothing in between is an expensive way to feel good for about eight hours. Walking meetings, a proper break every forty minutes and a monitor at eye height do a lot of the same work for free. There is also a point of diminishing returns. If you are getting treated every week and nothing is improving, the answer is usually not more massage. It is a physio assessment, a change to your training load, or a look at sleep and stress. A therapist who tells you that is worth keeping.
