While a Full Body Massage offers immense rejuvenation to the mind and body, it can be a bit unclear how many times we really need it. A full-body massage is a therapeutic massage that focuses on major areas of the body, including shoulders, back, legs, arms, hands, neck and such.

- Reduces symptoms of stress and anxiety

- Reduces muscle and joint aches and pain
- Improves posture
- Decreases heart rate and blood pressure
- Enhances flexibility and mobility
- Promotes blood circulation
- Strengthens the immune system

Frequency of massage treatment
To put it simply, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Different individuals have different needs. Some may require weekly massages, while others get one once a month. It would be best if you considered these factors when making a decision:
Your time and finances
Depending on how much time and finances you have, you can schedule a session accordingly. Although some massage practitioners are expensive, don’t compromise quality for a low price. Your health and general well-being are at stake. Choose a reputable, trained massage therapist to attain maximum benefits.
Your physical and emotional needs
Listen to your body. Do you feel stressed out, anxious and overwhelmed? Are you suffering from migraine or chronic pain? A full body massage can help you cope with these symptoms because it releases the feel-good hormones through the body. This calms an individual’s nervous system and promotes mental and physical relaxation. Also, massage enhances blood circulation that can relieve body pain/ aches. If you are dealing with muscular, joint injuries or stress, you can get a massage as often as you and you’re chosen professional decide.
Your health goals
If you’re an athlete, massage should be a normal part of your training routine. An intense body massage is the most effective way to strengthen your physical and psychological health. Athletes should get a massage regularly, especially before an event. It can help prevent injuries, reduce muscular aches and pain, increase tissue elasticity and keep their bodies in great shape.
Based on your resources and your health goals and needs the timing of your massage routine can be very flexible
