How Often Should You Get a Massage?
Massage therapy isn’t just a luxury—it’s a tool for better living. Whether you're managing pain, relieving stress, or simply maintaining wellness, how often you get a massage can make all the difference in how your body feels and functions.
At Dream City Wellness in Garner, NC, we help you find the right rhythm for your body’s needs and lifestyle. Here’s how to know what frequency is best for you:
🗓️ Weekly: Focused Care for Recovery or High Stress
Best for:
Chronic pain or injury
High-performance athletes
Post-operative support
Severe stress or anxiety
If your body is in a season of healing, performance, or heavy tension, weekly sessions can create a consistent foundation for change. This is especially helpful for clients working through injury rehab, lymphatic drainage needs, or post-surgical swelling.
🗓️ Biweekly: Targeted Maintenance with Flexibility
Best for:
Office workers and active professionals
Those managing tension or mobility
Stretch therapy clients
Every other week gives your body time to recover while still maintaining therapeutic benefits. It’s a great choice for people with consistent workloads, moderate pain levels, or mobility goals. Biweekly appointments are also ideal for combining massage with stretch therapy.
🗓️ Monthly: Wellness Maintenance for Long-Term Results
Best for:
Stress relief
Preventative wellness
Busy lifestyles
First-timers
If you’re simply looking to stay ahead of tension and keep your body in balance, monthly massage is an excellent starting point. This frequency supports circulation, immune function, posture, and sleep—helping you feel your best from the inside out.
💡 Your Needs May Change
You might start with weekly deep tissue and eventually move to monthly maintenance. That’s the beauty of massage—it’s adaptable. Our therapists will work with you to adjust frequency as your body evolves.
💳 FSA/HSA Makes It Easy to Stay Consistent
Massage is more than self-care—it’s healthcare. Most of our services qualify for FSA/HSA reimbursement, meaning your wellness plan can fit your budget. Ask us how to apply your benefits when booking.
