Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy that involves moving soft tissues in the body to reduce stress, ease muscle tension, and promote relaxation and overall well-being. It is a hands-on technique performed by trained massage therapists.

Most people are aware of the relaxation benefits massage offers, but it can be therapeutic, as well.

There is evidence that massage can improve breathing among asthmatic children, lower levels of stress hormones and help relieve tension headaches caused by contracting head, neck or facial muscles. Part of the reason massage may work as well as it does for so many problems is that people expect it to. This is yet another example of the powerful connection between the mind and body – treatment that succeeds in part because patients believe in it. For many of us, massage can simply be wonderfully relaxing, but to gain its full benefit, you need to surrender your body, and have faith in the touch of a skilled therapist.

Getting a massage can be a way to treat yourself, de-stress, or address a medical issue. You can seek out a massage therapist for a variety of different massages. 

There are no standard guidelines for the number of massages you can get, but a massage therapist or your doctor may be able to recommend a frequency and duration that work best for your needs.

Massages for injury are typically more frequent, while massages for pampering or relaxation purposes can occur less often.

Massage frequency and duration will depend on the type of massage you want and the area you want to target. Many research studies recommend a certain massage frequency and duration to address underlying health problems like pain or injury.

Talk to a massage therapist to find out how often you should visit to address your needs.

If regular massages aren’t in your budget, consider stretching out the time between each session. You may also be able to learn massage techniques to perform at home on a more regular basis from a doctor, massage therapist, or another medical professional.

The amount of sessions needed vary due to the individual circumstances and conditions. There are no guarantees implied, nor are any treatments meant to replace medical care. All sessions are alternative treatments meant to compliment traditional medicine. If in doubt consult your primary care physician before booking a medical massage.

Usually to achieve pain relief two to six sessions might be needed per affected area. If the client suffers from more than one problem, every problem area will be addressed individually. A medical massage is very targeted and does not include a whole body massage. In order to affect the deep laying tissues and muscles of the body, time is needed to work through the individual layers of tissue and muscles. For example, the eyelid has only one muscle layer, most of the body has three, but the spine consists of five layers. I work thoroughly through the tissues and start each session where I left off during the previous session.

The goal is long term pain management and prevention.
