How Often Should You Get a Sports Massage?

This is one of the most common questions I get —

“How often should I book a sports massage?”

And the answer is: it depends on how you use (or abuse) your body.

But here’s the truth most people don’t hear:

If you’re waiting until something hurts, you’re already late.

It All Comes Down to This:

• How active are you?

• Do you train regularly?

• Do you sit for long hours?

• Do you feel tight even when you haven’t done much?

Sports massage isn’t just for athletes. It’s for anyone who wants to move better, recover faster, and stay out of pain.

Here’s a Simple Breakdown:

Every week – If you’re training hard, dealing with an injury, or pushing your body every day

Every 2-3 weeks – If you exercise regularly and want to stay on top of recovery

Once a month – For maintenance, posture correction, and keeping things running smoothly

And if you’ve never had a proper sports massage before?

Your first few sessions might need to be closer together to undo the damage that’s built up over time.

Why Frequency Matters

The body holds tension.

Day by day. Rep by rep. Step by step.

If you wait too long between sessions, you’re not maintaining — you’re starting over. That’s like cleaning your house once every six months. It’s chaos.

At Andrea’s Touch, we focus on fixing problems from the root. That means regular check-ins with your body, not just crisis management.

Final Thought

Think of sports massage like training, eating well, or sleeping — it’s not a luxury. It’s part of your routine if you actually care about how your body feels and performs.

So how often should you get a massage?

As often as you want to feel your best.
