This is a question I am asked often and the answer can depend on why you are coming for a massage in the first place. If you are coming for a relaxation massage and you have no pain a monthly massage would be would be fine but as the relaxation benefits the mind as well as the body you may feel that more frequent is for you.
If you are coming for a deeper treatment for more chronic pain, such as tension in the shoulders and back you are best starting with weekly treatments until the tension has eased. After a few weeks if you are happy with your progress you can stretch the treatments out to fortnightly and then if you wish to monthly. Each individual is different and some clients prefer to stay on a fortnightly treatment. Also the longer you have had a condition the longer it can take to begin to see an improvement. Stretching a treatment out too far can result in the muscles reverting back to old patterns and then you have to start again to restore the muscles suppleness. The best advice is to listen to your body do what you feel is best but keep treatment regular.
