How Often Should You Get a Massage?
It depends on what you are booking it for. If you are managing a specific problem — a tight back, recovery from training — deep tissue on a regular rhythm does more than an occasional long session. If it is stress and sleep, a Swedish session whenever you need it is enough. Sixty minutes is for targeted work; ninety is for a true full-body session at an unhurried pace.
There is no universal number, and anyone quoting one is guessing. What there is: a different honest answer depending on why you are booking.
If you are solving a problem
A tight back, shoulders that have not moved properly since you started a new job, recovery after training — tissue like that responds to repetition. A regular rhythm of deep tissue work does more than one long session every few months, because each appointment builds on the last instead of starting over.
Tell us the reason, not just the service — it changes how the hour is used.
If it is stress and sleep
Then the honest answer is: as often as it helps and as often as it fits. A Swedish session works on the nervous system as much as the muscle, and there is no schedule you have to earn.
60 or 90 minutes
Sixty minutes is targeted — back, neck and shoulders, done properly. Ninety allows a full-body session at a deeper and unhurried pace, which is the version most clients mean when they say they want “a proper massage”.
What we do here
Our therapists combine deep anatomical work with neuro-sedative technique rather than running an assembly line. Swedish is 60 minutes at $145 ($125 for first-time clients and members) and 90 at $189 ($159). Deep tissue is 60 at $189 ($159) and 90 at $225 ($189). Prenatal is 60 minutes at $169 ($145).
Hot stones can be added for $25 with a membership, $30 otherwise.
The part that decides the result
Tell the therapist the reason, not just the service. “My lower back seizes up when I drive” produces a different hour than “deep tissue, please”.
Choosing your rhythm.
- Problem-solving: regular deep tissue beats occasional. Tight tissue responds to repetition, not to one heroic session.
- Stress and sleep: Swedish, as often as it helps. There is no schedule to earn.
- 60 minutes: targeted: back, neck and shoulders.
- 90 minutes: full body, unhurried, and deeper work without rushing the finish.
