How Often Should You Get a Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is one of the most effective therapies for muscle tension, chronic pain, and athletic recovery — but many people ask:
“How often should I get one?”
The answer depends on your lifestyle, health goals, and physical activity level. At AHC Wellness Clinic, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) will help you create a personalized treatment schedule to suit your needs.
General Guidelines for Frequency
1. For General Stress or Mild Muscle Tension
If you’re mostly sedentary but experience stress or occasional tightness,
Once every 4–6 weeks is ideal for maintenance and overall wellness.
2. For Athletes and Active Individuals
Engaging in regular training or sports?
Every 1–2 weeks helps prevent injury, promote faster recovery, and improve mobility.
3. For Injury Recovery or Chronic Pain
If you’re dealing with pain from an injury, poor posture, or overuse:
Start with 1 session per week, then gradually decrease frequency as symptoms improve.
4. For Desk Workers and Poor Posture
Sitting all day can lead to neck, shoulder, and back tension.
A deep tissue massage every 3–4 weeks can relieve built-up tension and improve posture.
