For most people, a massage once a month is a good routine. For a specific problem such as back or shoulder tension, every 1–2 weeks for a few sessions works well, then monthly to maintain. Athletes in training often book every 2–4 weeks.

Safety
Massage is not suitable for everyone. Tell your therapist about any injury, recent surgery, blood-clot history, heart condition, or skin condition before you start. If in doubt, check with your GP first. For an acute injury, see a GP or physiotherapist before booking.
